Cyberia and the Alien

… Cyberia attempted to resist the flow of mental manipulation, building up inside her mind. As if in a trance she approached the anti-gravitation funnel, stepped in and let herself be carried down to the prison level.
„Now open the door!“
She entered the security code. With a muted hissing the door pulled over, uncovering the room behind. A hooter, backed up by a flashing red light, indicated that she moved on extremely dangerous terrain.
„Stop this awful monkey business!“
Her hand brought the emergency switch down. The piercing ululating ceased…silence…
An even illumination from the torchiere replaced the red light’s coruscating, sharply bounded red outline on her left side…
„Come into my modest home!“
Vigorously yanking at the door latch, Cyberia unlocked the gateway to the Tosmoog`s container.
Without her PSI net she felt unprotected and at the mercy of this creature. …

About MagickT

Mannheim, Germany, was where I was born and raised – or more or less grew up.
Strange enough, those times the laws were not followed so strictly regarding the age of us Kids. So we could always be found in the back rows of what was called an “erotic film” – which was not to be shown to minors. (No need to worry: from the view of today you would only tend to feel a slight amusement for the “explicit sexuality” that was to be viewed on screen) – We didn`t mind as long as no one cared about us. But I think it were already those early years which had an important impact on my later artistic preferences.

And there is no need to change the subject of my work, because I still admire the human form in the whole, especially the female one – a wonderful creation that lies within those smooth lines of shadow and light, just like a perfect landscape.

At school I have filled every space that was left in my exercise books with “art” – like every other living artist, I guess! Later I did that on purpose when I was studying Graphic Design. As an Illustrator I have done covers for videos, commercial illustrations for BIG and small companies, and eventually worked with a computer.
This took a more and more technical course, so in 1993, when I moved to Karlsruhe, I decided to go back to the roots with simply a sheet of paper and a pencil as hardware – to fill my longing for genuine creations with life.
After some years in black and white I rediscovered color with large scale paintings to express this new love.

The women I draw are mostly provocative and self confident, sometimes shy and tender –
even if occasionally it may seem different, the fleeting stories those snap-shots on paper or canvas are telling always seem to turn out to their like.

… and that is just wonderful!

Press-information about MagickT

“Even if Karlsruhe is not New York, Thomas Schmitt, the artist from Mannheim, finds women with sensual expression there. The amazingly simple means pencil and paper are his tools to create erotic artworks full of atmosphere.

His drawings have been shown successfully by “Ars Vivendi” for several months. The keen interest in his work caused the gallery to organize an exhibition of the original drawings this september.

Thomas Schmitt started drawing nudes during his studies as a graphic-designer.
The first drawing of this series, inspired by a photograph, was created six years ago. Even his early works were given a realistic expression. He created a special way to idealize the female shapes without changing the aura of his models. The results are daringly erotic, without being obscene.

It had been strong women like Annie Lennox , Cher, Sharon Stone or Grace Jones, that inspired his selection of characters. His women aren`t tender and shy, but provocating and self-confident. That way some of his drawings radiate a power not easily to be “chained”.

Thomas Schmitt works as an illustrator.
This exhibition will launch the “journey into the public“ of his artworks.
