Japanese Artist Finds His Muse in Fish
Artist Yusei Nagashima’s muse is fish. His fascination began as a child and has manifested itself into detailed watercolor paintings of a diversity of species. He claimed that he was, “captivated by the form of the fish,” when he was young and, “how it carried itself in the water, the sparkle of its eyes and scales; the lively movements of its muscles when it was caught, its intimidating, expression as its throat swelled.”(Weeks). At age eight, his first interest in fish was peaked during a visit to a tropical fish store, where he saw baby piranhas. He expressed the contrast in the way that they are typically viewed as, being vicious and brutal, compared to the way he viewed them, as “delicate and beautiful.”(Gestalten). From that point forward, he found his art focusing on fish over everything else. 
Yusei’s interest in fish does not stop in his artwork. He enjoys fishing and reflects on fond memories of fishing with his father as a child. He expressed the mixture of emotions that he felt during one particular experience where he lost his favorite rod to a large fish while angling in the ocean. He recalled being disappointed and frightened in the moment but when his father caught a fish that happened to be the one attached to his rod, he realized how impressive of an experience that was, “during which I felt both great fear of and respect for the depths of the ocean.”(Gestalten). 
Three years ago Yusei began posting one painting each Friday on his blog (Yusei Nagashima). On his blog you are able to view his watercolor works that encompass a wide diversity of fish. He feels that his art can be an aid in teaching people about the importance of not only fish, but the natural world as a whole. “Nature is something that we must protect…We must think about our position as humans in nature and we should live alongside nature. I think fish and fishing reveal such a relationship.”(Gestalten).

The Upside Down – large original abstract painting – ready to hang
By Bruce Rubenstein
Located in Los Angeles, CA
The large scale paintings of Bruce Rubenstein merge the creative attitudes of the two distinct art hot spots of New York and Los Angeles. Rubenstein’s work has a rigid edge and strong composition, but maintains organic shapes and soft colors as well. His works have character that brightens a space. His paintings pull from abstract expressionism and cubism, but maintain a contemporary edge that strikes the viewer. His work seems collectively new and timeless at once. This large, abstract, one-of-a-kind measures 40-inches square and 2.25 inches deep. It is a mixed media composition layered with acrylic paint, oil pastel, and charcoal on canvas. It is stretched, wired and ready to hang. The sides of the artwork are painted as a continuation of the artwork, eliminating the need for framing and creating a cohesive, finished look. It is signed by the artist on the front and back of the artwork. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available. Provenance: Artspace Warehouse. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Bruce Rubenstein specializes in large-scale artworks, using huge canvases to tell his stories. Born and raised in New York, he moved to Los Angeles in 1985. His mixed media artworks defy categorization, blending abstract forms and organic shapes with subtle hints of figures and symbols. Adrien Brody and Mickey Rourke are among Rubenstein’s collectors. Bruce Rubenstein’s artistic influences include artists from Joan Miró and Jean Arp to Gerhard Richter and Pablo Picasso. “He is an artist, and that means someone who cannot restrain the flow of ideas,” says author David Rodgers. “He is someone who they just burst out of, who cannot help but communicate, and who sees no reason to stop. He’s a man not limited by media to communicate the stories that he needs to (and must) tell, through any medium he feels necessary.” His works are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles and have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including exhibitions in Austria and Israel.
