Roq La Rue is thrilled to present "Nice
and Naughty!" a eyeball popping show of paintings revolving
around girls, girls,girls... both bad and good!
Yumiko Kayukawa is Seattle's favorite Japanese pop princess who graces Roq La
Rue with
her paintings of icy beauties as often as she can get to the U.S. The innocently
sexy Japanese girls surrounded by animals and traditional Japanese motifs, combined
with a bright and joyful palette are gaining immense popularity around the globe.
Every painting she has shown with us has sold on
opening night! Yumiko lives and paints in Sapporo Japan and will be in attendance
on opening night. She will be showing 16 new paintings.

John John Jesse was
raised in the lower east side of New York and his work
reflects the juxtaposition
and maelstrom of growing up in a strict Catholic environment
while rapidly being seduced by the ethos of the punk rock
movement in the late 70's and early 80's. Questioning what
he saw as oppression and hypocrisy of organized religion,
and that freedom of thought being frowned upon, caused
John John to start creating blasphemous artwork, both as
a way
of laughing at it as well as giving it the finger. Despite
a lack of formal art education John John's works are a
breathtaking achievement f precise draftsmanship married
with a profoundly
individual style. This show will focus on his beautiful
and dark pin ups- girls
who are not
only " bad" but revel nakedly in their darkness, addictions, and
salvations.
