Florian Thomas
edition paraffin 2022
(*1966, lives and works in Munich): A woman, blinded by the sun, poses next to an African head statue; a girl rides a hippo; an oversized cat majestically sits against a pink background; street scenes, cars, animals, people... the subjects in Thomas’ paintings reveal their origins: postcards, personal pictures, analog photos, or digital ones found on the internet. They become templates for the artist’s paintings, and not only do they supply him with subjects and themes, but he also details the artificiality of the image, consequently revisiting the old debate on the respective attributes of paintings and photography
