The Rotterdam-based artist Henk Tas (1949) blends various images from popular visual culture, mass media, and advertising in his photographic works. Through vibrant photography, sometimes combined with other techniques, he crafts his ‘magic photos’ which have been acquired by museums such as Boijmans, Centre Pompidou, and others. In fact, Tas would have preferred to become a rockstar, being a visual artist was his second choice. As a result, his work is always bursting with rock & roll vibes and a hefty dose of glamour. The objects he photographs, often rendered unrecognizable, serve as vehicles for emotions in his eyes.
Beside some original works, www.ftn-books.com has some Henk Tas titles available.
