Features and Remarks
The painting on offer here is also truly larger than life at 2.2 metres high. It shows a fire hydrant that takes on the features of a human form through perspective and design.
„What interests me is abstract realism, working on the border between the real and the abstract.“
Lydia Thomas, 2025
Thomas also brings some of these figures and objects with a special presence from the canvas into sculpture: small series or unique pieces are produced primarily as bronze casts, whose almost alchemical process inspires the artist.
Confession secret
The confessional, which symbolises the sacrament of confession in the Catholic Church, is one such special object. The artist, who grew up in Catholic Bavaria, must be familiar with the mysterious pull exerted by the furniture, which is separated from the rest of the church by walls and a curtain. What is discussed between the clergy and the faithful in close proximity remains a mystery to the outside world.
A painting entitled ‘Confessional’ is published in the catalogue of the Doberauer ‘Dioskuren’ class.
