under her skin #6

Edmond Thommen describes himself first and foremost as a photographic artist, not a digital artist. For him, the art begins with the camera, his photographs. The digital element is simply the palette that allows him to blend and refine his work. 

The female body forms the basis of his art­works; it may be softened and blended, the lines melding, melting into the layers of the piece until one's eyes start to actively search for the lines the mind tells you must be there; or the model's body may leap from the work like some goddess of old, breaking through time, stone and canvas, demanding one's attention and admiration; while also seeming to escape the bounds of the piece, of defini­tion, of objectification.

Allow yourself to discover the deep, complex world that Edmond has created. Bring your­self, your point of view, your baggage, to the art and it will reward you far more than any cursory appraisal could. You will not regret it.
