Christian Lemmerz (*1959 in Karlsruhe, Germany) is a German/Danish and internationally renowned sculptor. This philosophical and deeply reflective artist revolves in his work around death - and particularly what precedes it. He has created - and continues to create - works that, through their penetrating and fantastical forms, speak directly to both the heart and mind of the viewer or owner. Working in a wide range of materials, from the classical (marble, bronze, and aluminium) to the more unusual (fat, soap, wax, Jesmonite, and insulation foam), his art leaves a lasting impression.
