paints in a old world style with new world subject matter. The style
has been described as hyper realist [beyond photo realist]. If you
get a chance to see the work in person don't miss out. Reproductions
in any media only tell half the story. |

On Tuesday, May
8, 2007, Durk Dehner, President of Tom of
Finland Foundation, Los Angeles, California, and Etienne
de Swardt, Founder and President of Etat Libre d’Orange,
Paris, France signed an exclusive licensing agreement for the development
of an original signature fragrance line of products.
The signing, held
on Tom of Finland's birthday, was celebrated with an evening of champagne
and chocolates. It culminated with samples of Etat Libre d'Orange's
current product line, as well as several candidate scents that could
compose the basis of the new Tom fragrance.
Guests, including
members of the press, were also treated to a special grouping of Tom’s
original artwork. This exhibition will be extended for the next few
months. The public is invited to call the Foundation for an appointment
to view this exhibit, as well as view the many dozens of other pieces
of erotic artwork on display.
