JOHN CLANG /// SELF REFLECTION

Whenever I visited the zoo as a child, the experience was always a joyful one. The animals looked beautiful and happy. But as an adult revisiting the zoo, the experience changed. I see sadness and loneliness in these animals. They look trapped in their confinement. Living each day like a routine. In comparison, I appreciate my world for its freedom and its constant changes. Why has my perception changed? I am probably seeing a reflection of myself in these animals. As I age, I see the world around me a little differently. Am I truly living my life to the fullest? Or am I living a similarly confined life like these animals, 'performing' to the daily expectations of our society?

ANDREW MYERS








ANDREW MYERS /// SCREW ART

Since his early childhood, ANDREW MYERS has been artistically influenced by european life and culture. Born in Braunshweig, Germany and raised in Ciudad Real, Spain his exposure to modern continental living and classical architecture prompted the universal and classical themes, yet modern design found in his artwork.

At the age of 20, Myers applied to the Art Institute of Southern California (now known as the Laguna College of Art and Design); with no previous art training, he was accepted based upon the natural talent his application portfolio evidenced. The young artist developed his skills through advanced figurative sculpture and accelerated painting curriculum. While these two and a half years of creative training provided Myers with the basic working knowledge of the artistic field, it was his drive, passion, and leap of faith into work as a full time artist that allowed him to cultivate his particular style.

Myers blends modern material with classical figurative technique featuring a universal subject matter that is prevalent throughout his work. It is his unification of these three characteristics that results in the innovative and modern artwork that captivates viewers and has been so highly acclaimed nationwide.

MARIE LUISE EMMERMANN‘s “glueless” collages are ephemeral compositions the artist assembles on her studio floor, photo-documents, then sweeps away. Interested in body morphosis and prosthesis, Emmerman’s collages create a visual experience of the human body that is unfettered by cultural conventions, while the process is a gentle reminder of our own fleeting mortality.

ADAM BEANE










Since ADAM BEANE began sculpting in 2002, he has been asked to work with some of the best companies in the industry on many high-profile projects. He is known for his dynamic compositions, action poses, nuanced drapery work and his ability to capture likenesses with expressions.

He now sculpts exclusively in CX5, a tremendously versatile material he developed which handles like clay when warm but is hard as plastic when cool.
