"Made his first mark, when he began to explore Europe's memories of World War II. With harsh, elegant paintings like gas chamber like:

"Displaying the gap between represented image and historical event, Luc Tuyman's paintings delve into the inner workings of how mythology is created. "

"Luc Tuyman's focused on works of art with political or social commentary , many expiated Tuyman's to make new works in response to the New York attacks on September 2001. Instead he presented a simple still-life executed on a massive scale , deliberately ignoring all reference to world events leading to negative critiques."

"Luc Tuyman's paints the indescribable. His dark muted scenes seem vaguely familiar."
Tuyman's work will help influence my own work as the atmosphere he creates is captivating and I want to bring that into my drawings / paintings to create much more depth and atmosphere.
Giving my drawings almost a story like Tuyman's so that the places I paint have a history and a meaning like my film work.
