Obesity is currently regarded as one of the major health challenges of the developed world. Excess body weight is an important risk factor for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders and even psychiatric problems and is estimated to cause nearly 3 million deaths per year worldwide. Obesity is not necessarily associated with comorbidities: there are indeed metabolically healthy obese individuals. Thus, we need to consider individuals presenting simple with obesity separately from those at risk of developing or who have already developed complex clinical states potentially leading to disability.

Viennese artist Stylianos Schicho depicts both animals and humans in his large-scale works as he addresses the phenomenon of ìbeing watchedî in contemporary society. His fragmentary visual worlds voice criticism of issues such as capitalism and consumerism. The observer becomes the observed when scrutinised by the oversized eyes. Or in the words of the artist: "There is always someone missing from the picture and that is the person who is standing in front of it." Schichoís works are a blend of painting and drawing. Fleeting moments are captured and sketched, the expressive faces are brought to life with colour and fine lines. 0Exhibition: Lukas Feichtner Galerie, Vienna, Austria (30.11.2012 – 14.01.2013).
