 Wishful ThinkingReuben Rude was born in San Francisco, as the sun was setting on the Free Love era.His bohemian parents then moved "back to the land" to the woods of Northern California, where he spent the better part of his childhood without a television. This lack of technology forced him to spend almost every waking hour drawing and painting. When he moved back to the city to attend art school, he got into all the usual trouble with graffiti writers, skateboarders and art students. He now lives in San Francisco with his wife and eight-year-old daughter, and yes, a television. However, he still spends most of his waking hours drawing and painting. Sometimes he even gets paid for it. more www.reu... (488) added by Reuben Rude |
 Artist Noriko Ambe Selects YUPO Synthetic for New Body of WorkHaving completed her second solo show at New York's Josée Bienvenu Gallery, Noriko Ambe's topographical sculptures evoke simultaneously the monumentality of canyons and valleys and the complexity of fine wrinkles on the skin.Ambe's most recent exhibition, entitled Flat Globe, refers to the process of creating three-dimensional pieces made from hundreds of flat sheets of translucent YUPO synthetic paper. Using a tiny X-Acto knife, she cuts complex streams of swirls and ripples, creating volume by slowly building stratified layers in a growth process similar to the way a tree ages through spiral rings. Her sculptures embody the time taken to create them, resembling craters and fault lines, tiny earthquakes and ancient rock formations. "I chose YUPO for its impossibly smooth texture and the iridescent, almost marble quality of the color," says Ambe. "Because YUPO is fiber-free, it holds the smallest lines and cuts, without fraying, for sharp, clean edges." YUPO's resistance to water and humidity ensure that Ambe's creations will stand the test of time, can be easily maintained and will not warp or shift. YUPO synthetic paper is distributed for art uses through an exclusive agreement with art materials specialist Legion Papers and through national retailers like Dick Blick and Cheap Joe's as watercolor paper. more Artist Noriko Ambe Selects YUPO Synthetic for New Body of Work added by Levent OZLER |
