Torsten Solin

"Torsten Solin's artistic oeuvre is incredibly versatile, employing photography, installation and oil painting in creating his powerful imagery. Using hyper photo-realism combined with old masterly technique, the artist draws his audience into an artificial, gaudy and surreal world, celebrating the beauty of the female form, while piquing the viewers’ voyeuristic curiosity." Jean Griffin Borho
