HEALING
The human being plays an important role in the oeuvre of Hans Thomann, often in connection with religious and philosophical themes. Thoman's work finds its way, much can be seen in public spaces throughout Switzerland, but also in churches and important institutions of society.
This man here, lying totally relaxed in the meadow, is almost reminiscent of a landscape, as we perceive it in several layers looking over the lake. Grown together with his surroundings, he is, however, the opposite of Vincent Kohler's human being, almost tomographically dissected, as we know it from medicine, and transparent through and through.
