Title: Tamara Suhr
Description: As a sculptor, Tamara Suhr has devoted herself unswervingly to the human figure. Her subjects are figures of children whose hesitancy always embodies a certain curiosity, a sense of expectation. In their form reduced to the essential, indeed almost archaic, they radiate calm and serenity?supported by balance with regard to both the motif and possible associations. In their small size and vulnerability, Suhr?s figurative sculptures seem apparently in need of protection, yet they appear strong and courageous. They stand, gaze, crouch, fish, or balance. They are present, they are there, in the here and now. Painstakingly crafted in bronze, a symbol for the children of the world.
Subjects: Human figure in art
