Tamara joins Arnold Schwarzenegger to party with the art
Some of his work is disturbing to say the least, and has been described as "the visual equivalent of a contact sport". He uses art as a way to fight back at society, his pictures forcing people to face things they might prefer to forget about. Children feature heavily, as do bandages and chilling images from the wartime era. All very challanging, yet fascinating. The man himself seemed far too well-scrubbed to pass for an artist -- dashingly handsome doesn't do him justice! I immediately thought of Dennis Hopper in "Easy Rider" but that could have been his bandanna. Dressed head-to-toe in black, he rarely removed his extremely dark shades, but he was effortlessly charming with plenty to talk about.
