PIERRE THOMAS KARKAU

Women were the subject of the black and white photographs of his previous book MODELS SECRET, and they are again the topic of the colour photographs in his newly published work COLOROTIC with which PTK further develops his interpretation of the female aura and eroticism. For PTK women ­ mainly shown as semi-nudes or nudes ­ are beautiful, highly feminine creatures of great sensuality, erotic vibrancy and allurement.It is a masterful interaction of perspective and light, underlined and accentuated by powerful predominantly warm colours. After years as assistant to top photographers in the fashion capitals of Milan, Paris, New York and Düsseldorf under his belt, PTK is an internationally renowned photographer who mainly works for the fashion and advertisement industry. However, he continues his artwork with COLOROTIC which has been influenced not only by the classic ideas of visuality of the last decades but is also inspired by recent trends in colour photography. As a result PTK has been published the world over in magazines such as FHM, GQ, MAX, MAXIM, PLAYBOY, RED HOT, WIENER and many more. This latest development should particularly delight his friends and admirers; the collectors of his work will certainly welcome his increasing artistic proximity to such great names of his trade as Ellen von Unwerth, Mario Testino and Helmuth Newton.
