Tim David Trillsam

Tim David Trillsam’s figurative bronze sculptures seem bizarre and somehow one feels taken to another world. With wit and humour the artist makes the viewer smile and toys with his self reflection at the same time. A striking feature are the extraordinarily large hands and feet of his human figures which in particular are very aesthetic for the artist. This way, contrary to the presentation of a perfect human body, Trillsam’s sculptures are reduced to the essential, natural tools of man, thereby contrasting art historical depictions. The raw cast skin is another essential element of his bronze works. The sculpture’s surface is important to the artist. He regards the “Skin of a Figure” as a tool of conveyance. Trillsam does not patinate his works, polishes them sparingly and uses coloration only sporadically. Thus spontaneous traces of the modelling process are largely conserved. Through this special form of surface modelling his sculptures gain a unique liveliness and lightness, which makes the works of this young artist stand out and has made them many a collector’s favorite.
