James Jean

An artist currently living in Los Angeles, California.
"Using pictorial conventions from such varied sources as Japanese Woodblock prints, Northern Renaissance paintings and etchings, Chinese scroll paintings, Shanghai advertising posters, comics, anatomical charts, and vintage printed ephemera, Jean's images evoke a sense of fantasy and the subconscious, seductive in its delicacy and sensuality. Beyond these sources of inspiration, there is a fundamental drive to circumscribe the sublime and the profane in drawing and painting, regardless of the context within which the work exists."

Yoskay Yamamoto

Born and raised in Toba, Japan, moved to the United States at the age of 15. Amazingly talented self-taught artist whose work sells out on almost every exhibition he has. He paints, draws, makes scultpures and vinyl toys. Someone to watch! That's for sure!
