Rinze Van Brug is a photographer/art director. He began his love of art at a young age. With inspiration from movies such as BEAT STREET and WILD STYLE Rinze's artistic approach blossomed. Drawing and then graffiti were the first methods of expression for Rinze and he worked commercially while in Amsterdam creating art murals for stores and restaurants while continuing his personal art as well. At 19, Rinze purchased his first Macintosh computer and began exploring new programs such as Painter, which allows users to develop their own art work in a much shorter time span. Much of Rinze's inspiration comes from music that helps him to continuously mold his personal style.

Ron Muek

Ron Mueck (born 1958) is an Australian hyperrealist sculptor working in Great Britain. Mueck's sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images. His five metre high sculpture Boy 1999 was a feature in the Millennium Dome and later exhibited in the Venice Biennale.

Gerard Fromanger

Gerard Fromanger is a French artist born in 1939. Although he mainly works in paintings, he also uses collage, sculpture, lithograph, and photography in his work. Concerned with the French movement of New Figurative Representation, Fromanger enjoyed using figures and commercial aspects in his work, causing him to toe the line of pop art in his work.

Jean Tinguely

Jean Tinguely is a sculptor born in Basel and a part of the Parisian avant-garde movement of the 50's and 60's helped to stimulate the idea of replacing static sculptures with kinetic ones. His use of machine sculptures creates a colorful and (literally!) moving presentation for his audiences.

Petah Coyne

Petah Coyne, a sculptor living in New York City, works with the various and random objects of fake flower, ribbons, and birds, drenched in a carpet of wax, holding her sculptures in a frozen moment. Referring to her work as her "Girls," Petah uniquely creates billowing veils, flowing hair, delicate chandeliers, and organic piles with her unusual technique.

Annette Messager
