Thom Puckey

Thomas William (Thom) Puckey (Bexleyheath, England, 23 May 1948[1][2]) is a British sculptor living in Amsterdam and Tuscany.

His works are included in numerous international private and museum collections,[13][14][15][16] and commissioned public sculptures are prominent in several cities in the Netherlands.

[22][2][29][30] The realistically modeled or carved female nudes, precisely executed down to the most intimate detail, in striking poses with weapons, are depicted on everyday objects such as mattresses, pillows and furniture.

[2][29] Since 2016 Puckey has been concentrating more on black-and-white analogue photography, working solely in his own darkroom and studio and shooting, developing, and printing the photographs himself.

In his complex and strange photographs, light, time and spatiality often seem to achieve an importance equal to the portrayed scene or subject.
