'The surprising thing about André Thijssen's work is that it defies classification. It steers a course between photography, design and illustration, which makes it extremely invigorating in all of these disciplines. His images invariably transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. To work with André Thijssen is more about making use of his vision than making use of his images.'
Erik Kessels, KesselsKramer, Amsterdam.
'André's sense of humour and conceptual eye zero in on seemingly simple details and take them to a symbolic level. His images of America, in particular, bring these symbols to an almost iconographic level. His images are successful with our clients because they cross that fine line between the literal and conceptual. They therefore have a wide range of commercial uses which is exactly what our agency and our clients, are seeking. His strong sense for design and his understanding of print and interactive design application make André an inspiration to work with particularly for designers and art directors.'
Janou Pakter, Creative Director, Nonstock, New York City.
His work challenges our perception of reality as we know it.'
Hans Wolf, Art Director, VNU magazines.
André Thijssen is a Dutch image-maker based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In all cases including commissioned work the concept for the image is his own. He exploits an archive of his own deranged photography.
