Features and remarks
You are buying an original bronze sculpture by Lydia Thomas.
The Chemnitz-based artist is known for her figurative paintings, which are ambiguously and auratically charged through brushstrokes, coloration and cropping.
„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.
Image of innocence
Who is this casual young man in a vest and shorts? He is holding a yellow cube in his right hand with his head turned upwards and an exalted expression. Another cube lies at his feet.
The dark patinated bronze is almost completely painted over with oil colours. The figure's pose and clothing appear cool and everyday. But with his shaved head and gaunt figure, he also has ascetic features.
Is he throwing the dice and deciding his fate? We can interpret it however we like: A cobblestone in a street fight, a game or an academic statue with staffage in contemporary form...
The sculpture was produced in a strictly limited edition of only 9 copies at the Ihle art foundry in Dresden.
Variants of this motif exist as cast aluminium in a larger format.
