THOMAS SCHÜTTE
Reflection on the human condition always lies at the heart of Thomas Schütte’s work, independently of the subject or of the materials employed. In his art he frequently draws on the theme of the family, of human expressions and architectonic models. He works in different mediums, such as steel, glass, bronze and ceramics, to explore concepts linked to cultural memory, to existential difficulty and to human effort that is often expended in striving towards a utopian and impossible ideal. Schütte’s sculpted figures reflect the image and moods of man, and therefore of the artist himself, against the backdrop of life’s precariousness.
