Why her?
She has dedicated her entire life to represent on a flat paper the sequences of the movement. She has produced an amazing abstract work that became a language that moves and speaks by itself when you look at it. It is a spectacular work! BCh L.A, April 27th 2010Who is she?
born in 1932 in Los Angeles, CA (US)

Ed Moses -Los Angeles- 
Why him?
He deserves to be known more than he is in Europe. His abstract paintings are all asking about the identity of art, as: finally is art made for home decoration or is it something else? This is a real question that american paintors should ask more often. BCh, L.A. November 23d 2009Who is he ?
He is a californian painter, born in 1926, He lives and works in Venice.

Marc Desgrandchamps -French- | oil on canvas courtesy galerie Zürcher clik |  |
Why him? Who is he ? 9 060 pages on google..be-art-website has selectedHis subjects are atemporal and multiple on one same canvas to produce, as the artist himself says : "a real fantasy or a fantasy reality". The technique he uses, successive layers of coloured juices, is mastered perfectly. Together he creates an open, questioning creation, that invites the viewers' imagination to diverse locations. the site of Galerie Zürcher (clik) |
Ron Mueck -australian- | Two Women, 2005. Mixed media 85.1 x 47.9 x 38.1 cm. Glenn Fuhrman Collection, New York In Bed, 2005. Mixed media 161.9 x 649.9 x 395 cm Private Collection |  |
| Why him ? Beyond the perfectly realistic silicon representation of simple characters, Ron Muech has the incredible ability to complete a thorough sociological study. Indeed, each sculpture of his is a concentrate of a whole slice of our society. Themes such as old age, sickness, or loneliness are hinted at in admirable fashion. Who is he? 1 400 000 pages on google...be-art has selected Biographie sur Wikipédia clik Exposition au Brooklyn Museum clik Voir l'artiste en train de créer sur Flickr clik Expo à la Fondation Cartier sur le web du Washinton post clik |
Didier Marcel -french- | Classique, 2003, La sucrière, Biennale de Lyon courtesy creativ TV |  | installation chez Michel Rein 2006 courtesy Galerie Michel Rein |
| Why him? For at least two reasons : Didier Marcel is one of the few sculptors that offers a reflection on the manner of expressing all the codes of sculpture in such a pure manner. For instance, the barriers above are complete sculptures, the hight of the display, their spatial positions where the voids bound by different surfaces resonate to "converse" amongst themselves, creating internal movement. Secondly, the installations he displays (above are sketches) that are full of a pure narration as well. Particularly interesting. Who is he? 1 370 000 pages sur Google...be-art-website has selected creativ TV clik here an interview about an installation at la Sucrière - Biennale de Lyon 2004- |
Takashi Murakami -japanese-  | "Jellyfish Eyes" (detail) 2006 Five pannels - Acrylic on canvas mounted on wood - 120 x 120 cm "Flower ball (3-D)" 2002 Acrylic on canvas, wood - 250 cm in diameter |  |
| Why Him ? Murakami covers the tracks in the understanding of his art ?far deeper than it seems? as well as in his manner of directing his career ?far from the doomed artist, he is a seasoned businessman?. His art is attractive, pleasant to look at and far more as he is an exceptional colourist. When looking at the pictures above, pay attention to the path your eyes follow, moving quickly to follow the trail the artist created. You can see there is an innate dynamism within the work of art. The picture on the right allows us to add to this dynamism an additional emotional dimension, in the end sad, due to the ratio and organisation of black and white. To not believe appearances is the message of this fabulous colourist. Who is he ? 978 000 pages on google...be-art has selected a blog clik New York times sur la "Murakami method" clik |
Cindy Sherman -american-  | Untitled Film Stills #3, 1977 ; courtesy Metro Pictures, New York © Cindy Sherman Untitled #225, 1990 ; The Broad Art Foundation, Santa Monica © Cindy Sherman |  |
| Why her ? Feminine condition most of all mental condition of the women is the principal interest of Cindy Sherman's work : sad, sexy,frightened, adventurer, winner, loser almost all mental representation except happyness. She is always the the person on the photo, lik an actress she disguises herself with make up etc... very gripping. Who is she ? Few images site ici Flutcuat clik ici jeu de Paume clik |
Silvia Bächli -swiss- | Linien 31 2006 gouache on paper 200 x 150 cm courtesy Galerie Nelson clik ici | |  |
Why her? Few painters master their support in such a good way. Either in small or big format, the artist offers us an unrivalled pulsation in her papers thanks to her drawing lines into which she let the white, the light seep. Absolutely noteworthy. Who is she? 56300 pages ongoogle, be-art kept : Visit the site of the Galerie Nelson, clik here. |
Gilles Barbier -french- | Le Prince des ventres Technique mixte, système son, 175 x 140 x 64 cm - 2003 Collection particulière Courtesy Galerie G.-P. & N. Vallois, Paris, France _ La Vieille femme aux tatouages 2002 Technique mixte 105 X 185 X 85 cm Collection particulière Courtesy Galerie G.-P. & N. Vallois, |  |
| Why him ? Gilles Barbier builds a global work, he doesn't set up much exhibitions. He tends to suggest artistic propositions on ourselves, the meaning we give or could give to the existence. A sublime imagination, in which intertowen cruelty and love for the human gender, so imperfect...

| Why Him ? Philippe Ramette's creations and photographs are each a situation of permanent challenge. Mocking gravity, he offers light-hearted, unexpected topics. He unravels the thread of an idea to the source. The size of his prints are always outstanding.

Georges Rousse -french- | "Arles" photographie 2006 courtesy galerie RX Paris clik "Saint Cloud" 2004 courtesy Springer & Winckler Galerie clik |  |
| Why Him ? His photographs are not what we think, basic geometrical figures painted on pictures of abandoned places. The scene is first painted to appear as flat, and then photographed. His works need time and attention to understand their workings and object, at the risk of missing the point, a little like with life... Magnificent.

Louise Bourgeois -french, sculptures, installations, drawings etc..- "spiders" 2001 au Rockefeller Center NY |  "Paddle woman" courtesy Cheim&Read Gallery NY |
| Why her? A strange, onirical universe where nightmares, dreams, suffering and joy are melt. Louise Bourgeois is like a mosquitoe going from body to body, she experiences technique after technique.. She is someone looking for novelty, where no one expects her. Surprising. Who is she ? 1 150 000 pages on google...be-art kept: l'Art en jeu : biography and elements on her work. |
Don Brown -english, sculptor- | Yoko XIV 2006 acrylic composite and acrylic paint figure: 118 x 32 x 27 cm plinth size: 70 x 58 x 43.5 cm courtesy galerie Almine Rech clik ici |
Why him? because he works on a real artist project..Like all artists at the begining, he wanted his work to be recognized rapidly, and he managed well.. but far from limiting himself to what's commonly accepted, he eventually take the time to realise pieces of an incredible and fragile balance: he is at the border of the too-figurative, of the too-meticulous, of the 'déjà-vu', at the limit of the vulgar, of the mould...But he is nothing of that. One cannot judge a book by it's cover, look with attention, and you'll be astonished by the elegance and the soundness of his pieces. Who is he? 1 230 000 pages on google...be-art kept:Paris, galerie Almine Rech clik here Londres, Sadie Coles Gallery clik here |

Marlene Dumas -painter- | The Supermodel. 1995. Watercolor on paper, 26 x 19 3/4" (66 x 50.2 cm). Gift of Jan Christiaan Braun in honor of Marie-Josée Kravis. © 2007 Marlene Dumas |
| Why her ? She handles like no one the 'watercolour', gouache or watercolour , risky technique because impossible to correct, no touching up or repentance ! She is interested in the human being, mainly women and kids, and the appaling result is at once tender and coarse. Who is she ? 736 000 pages on google...be-art kept: The MoMa collection, clik here documentation du centre Pompidou en pdf, clik here wikipédia clik here |
Pierre Gonnord -french photographer-

Why him ? Pierre Gonnord examines straight in the eyes the singular side inside oneself. This frank look without concessions and the great printings are astonishing... |
