Henk Tas




Henk Tas is from Amsterdam, Netherlands where he still resides. He has had many exhibitions and books. Tas has worked on mosaics and silkscreens but some of his most popular work are his staged photographs. Tas utilizes toys that are small figurines and flowers to bring life to his staged photos. I love Tas's work because he brings life and character to things that normally to us don't have life. His work reminds me of when I was little and our young imaginations could bring life to what toys we had. As we get older, we lose our imagination and ability to have our creative thoughts come through. These photographs show you can also be creative no matter what age. I have always been interested in creating life with toys and Tas does this well.
