Adam
Sold
Bronze
150 x 50 x 50 cm.
With Adam, Christian Lemmerz presents a deeply meditative and emotionally charged figure raw, wounded, and quietly dignified. The bronze sculpture depicts a standing male figure draped in heavy cloth, his eyes closed as if suspended between suffering and transcendence. Subtle scar-like markings trace the surface of the body, hinting at both physical and spiritual endurance.
Lemmerz’s command of materiality is evident in the powerful tension between the smooth anatomical passages and the rugged, almost torn textures of the drapery. The figure’s posture one hand resting on the chest, the other hidden behind the back creates an intimate sense of vulnerability.
Adam is a work that invokes themes of sacrifice, pain, redemption, and inner awakening. Its presence is solemn yet human, transforming classical sculptural language into a contemporary meditation on the fragility and resilience of the human condition.
