Christian Lemmerz2023
Torso (2)
Sold
Bronze
8 x 14 cm.
Torso (2) is a compact yet powerful bronze sculpture that encapsulates Christian Lemmerz’s ongoing exploration of the fragmented human form. Despite its modest scale, the work carries an intense physicality: the surface is built from dense, irregular masses that resemble molten matter, frozen in motion. The torso appears both ancient and newly formed, as if emerging from geological sediment or the aftermath of a violent transformation.
Lemmerz’s characteristic tension between beauty and erosion is present throughout. The body is stripped of limbs and head, yet charged with visceral energy. The rough textures. pitted, folded, scarred and evoke vulnerability as much as resilience. In this small unicum, Lemmerz condenses his existential inquiry into mortality, decay and the persistence of form. It is a sculpture that invites close viewing, rewarding the eye with shifting impressions of structure, collapse and renewal
