THOMAS BAEDEKER -
In much of Baedeker's work, pictorial structures and
compositional lines relate to the abstract perfectly and coherently.
Particularly those images with two or more colors in dialogue and which
appear atmospherically loaded, almost three dimensional. |

CLARA BECKMANN -
Throughout her young
life Clara Beckmann has traveled the globe immortalizing art figures of the
early 20th century with her camera. In the Face of Art: Famous Dead
Artists, Beckmann's lens is focused exclusively on these early
innovators of modern art. |

HANNE BLOOT -
Her work is a quiet
poetry of understatement and misdirection. As our eyes drift across Bloot’s
photographs in search of a resting point, we invest the dark spaces between
with a symbolic value: the alienation of life in an increasingly urban
world. |

BILLY CONKLIN -
The majority of Conklin's works are
made with assistants and other technical supports which some argue makes his
authorship questionable. It is argued though his focus on celebrity has also
contributed to the trivialization of contemporary culture. If nothing else,
Conklin certainly has had a key role in giving the visual arts a continued
profile in British public life. |

STIG EKLUND -
Eklund's mature camera style is so strong that it can even shroud a street
lamp, so that, instead of light, it seemingly emits darkness and shadows.
His vision drapes geometrically clashing urban beauty with the sooty persona
of its denizens, succinctly captured by a Norwegian artist who spends much
of the year in Detroit's glowering twilight.

CESAR MARZETTI - Much
like a magician revealing all his magic, Marzetti's acts are an
artist's betrayal, a revelation of art's negation to its past triumphs, of
novelty in favor of the ordinary. |

TAKI MURAKISHI -
Murakishi creates portraits of his friends, the music scene and Tokyo, only
to twist, layer and rework them into abstractions of his life. |

MISSY WIGGINS -
The artist's series of portraits and
cityscapes represents the corrosive effects of fear and urbanization in the
21st Century, both in our environment and psyche - observed by the artist in
Detroit and London. |

SHEN-BA WONG -
While attending Xiamen
University,
Wong reacted violently against the Xiamen Dada movement founded in 1986 by
embracing still older techniques (the blockprint), combined with newer
Western ideas (abstraction). |
