The Art
The art of Tomasz Koclęga celebrates the perfection of the human figure. This fascination defines the scope of its creative activities, often expressed through figurative sculpture. In his utopian vision, the human body embodies universal characteristics, erasing distinctions of race, sex and age.
His artistic creations revolve around the intricacies of human nature, portraying its deepest desires, raw emotions, and boundless dreams. His refined sense of form invites observers to delve into and unravel the truth about the individual. The emotional and intellectual aspects are fused within the contorted human body, where silent gestures form an alphabet of expression.
Working predominantly with bronze, Tomasz also enjoys experimenting with other materials, such as gold, glass, stone, resin, wood, marble and even plastic. His engagement with art in the global urbanscape has grown over the last few years. His enigmatic, interactive installations have graced public spaces in Poland, Lithuania, the USA, Korea, and India.
