Urs Lüthi (born 10 September 1947) is a Swiss photographer, painter and performance artist. Lüthi attended the Zurich School of Applied Arts from 1963 to 1964. He then worked as a graphic designer and freelance artist. In 1966 he held his first solo exhibition Pinksize with paintings with Pop art influence in the Beat Mäder gallery in Bern.
In 1969 he switched to photography and in 1970 he collected some success at the Galerie Toni Gerber in Bern with a series of androgynous self-portraits.
In 1980 he began painting large acrylic paintings to find his own visual language. At the end of the 80s he switched to art installations. Since 1994 he has been a professor at the Kassel Art Academy. During the 2001 Venice Biennale, he transformed the Swiss pavilion entitled "Trademarks, low action, Game II, Run for your life ..." into an installation where he presented himself, ironically, lying in the center of the room, smiling, dressed in overalls, with sports shoes and sunglasses.

- Black and White (School children in Gambia, West Africa)By Benno ThomaLocated in New Orleans, LAThis black and white image is of an excited group of school children in Gambia, West Africa This impression is #1 of an edition of 10. It is printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth paper that meets the highest industry standards regarding density, color gamut, color graduation and image sharpness. This white 100% rag paper guarantees archival standards. Benno Thoma was born in the university city of Maastricht on the southern tip of the Netherlands in November, 1956. He strives to stimulate our senses in his photographs and to move his audience to touch, feel and experience his vision. Thoma's photographs show us the beauty in each aspect of the composition. There is a tactile feel to his material, a positive energy that comes from the light that gives nuance to the subtle colors created. Arranged together with the beauty and dignity of the human body his technique invites us to become one with the scene. He travels around the world to create his images and strives to bathe his subjects in the natural light of that locale. Above all he captures the sense of place, its uniqueness -- cultural, natural or architectural. His newest photographs manipulate the element of water and light to express his vision of the male body – in both its innocence and vulnerability. Thoma uses movement and composition to capture the beauty of the body. The German publishing house of Bruno Gmunder has published five monographs of the work of Thoma. His photographs chronicle the luxurious properties of the Kempinski Hotel Group, the beautiful young actors of Bel Ami...Category
