Time and sequence in Drawing
Will Eisner Eisner was recognized interna0onally as one of the giants in the field of sequen0al art, a term he coined. In a career that spanned nearly seventy years and eight decades — from the dawn of the comic book to the advent of digital comics — he truly was the 'father of the Graphic Novel'. He broke new ground in the development of visual narraDve and the language of comics and was the creator of The Spirit, John Law, Lady Luck, Mr. MysDc, Uncle Sam, Blackhawk, Sheena and countless others.
Tim Burton Burton became known for creaDng visually striking films that blend themes of fantasy and horror, including Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Batman, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
William Kentridge Having witnessed first-‐hand one of the twenDeth century’s most contenDous struggles—the dissoluDon of apartheid—Kentridge brings the ambiguity and subtlety of personal experience to public subjects that are most oRen framed in narrowly defined terms. Using film, drawing, sculpture, animaDon, and performance, he transmutes sobering poliDcal events into powerful poeDc allegories.
Tabaimo Using drawings and coloraDon that evoke the hand-‐made nature of tradiDonal Japanese woodblock prints (Ukiyo-‐e) and combining them with sophisDcated computer technology, Tabaimo’s animated installaDons offer a surreal, complex and someDmes disturbing vision of contemporary Japanese society.

Robin Rhode Coming of age in a newly post-‐apartheid South Africa, Rhode was exposed to new forms of creaDve expression moDvated by the spirit of the individual rather than dictated by a poliDcal or social agenda. The growing influence of hip-‐hop, film, and popular sports on youth culture as well as the community’s reliance on storytelling in the form of colorful murals encouraged the development of Rhode’s hybrid street-‐based aestheDc. His strategic intervenDons transform urban landscapes into imaginary worlds, compressing space and Dme, as two-‐dimensional renderings become the subject of three-‐dimensional interacDons by a sole protagonist, usually played by the arDst or by an actor inhabiDng the role of arDst.

Richard Long In the nature of things: Art about mobility, lightness and freedom. Simple creaDve acts of walking and marking about place, locality, Dme, distance and measurement. Works using raw materials and my human scale in the reality of landscapes.
