Images often difficult, sometimes unbearable to see because they are all of a great cruelty, impregnated with odors Sex, blood and fury. In correspondence with many philosophers and writers of our time the artist operates the same observation as Marcel Gauchet writes (see his book "the disenchantment of the world") of this arrest of things by the arrest of beings. This implacable logic leads to the transformation of things by the transformation of men into things. Hypersensitive, he sees art as emotion. He always finds a form of beauty behind the brutality of his images and even of death and misery. In fact it permanently breaks the taboos and canons of aesthetics. For Cheyko Leidmann, the technique is secondary. The photographic quality is first of all the impression that it seeks, this mini-second which allows to lift the veil. This sublime photography with unique print in cibachrome of extraordinary quality with bright and vibrant colors that plunge us in the middle of the 80s. The certificate is provided by the artist.
