SOFT SUCK is the third monograph (2009 - 2020) of the artist Thomas Schostok aka (ths) and the direct successor to his book HARD BLOW published in 2008.SOFT SUCK is a raw compilation (chopped art) of his works, this time in the subsequent years between 2009 - 2020. The concept remains the same: no texts, no descriptions and now we understand that this is exactly the "artist statement" that many people need to get an idea of the artist. The process of creating is the "artist statement", it's nothing but details.

The art is and always will be the layout, and the viewer is left longing for the habit.
