Lost Child
Sold
Bronze
35 x 107 x 32 cm.
Lost Child is one of Christian Lemmerz’ most quietly unsettling sculptures. The life-sized bronze depicts a young child standing upright, dressed in a simple pleated dress, the expression calm yet unreadable. The figure’s stillness carries a disquieting weight - innocence rendered heavy, as if time itself has settled onto the child’s body.
Lemmerz’ mastery of bronze gives the surface a near-archaic resonance; the subtle textures of the dress, the softened contours of the face, and the bare feet root the work in both vulnerability and monumentality. Lost Child evokes themes central to Lemmerz’ practice: mortality, identity, and the fragile boundary between the human body and the metaphysical. It is a sculpture that radiates both tenderness and haunting presence, inviting contemplation rather than offering answers.
