Thomas Bucich is a multi-disciplinary Artist whose international career in art and design began in 1990 after moving to Australia from New York. From classical fine arts training at The Arts Students League and a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Architectural Design from Parsons School of Design in New York City, Thomas’s career has been highlighted by clients and collectors from across the globe.

Bucich produces art in a variety of mediums including cast bronze, stone, plaster and manipulated found objects through to 2D works on paper and canvas. His choice of materials for the works is driven by the concept of each series he commits to, through exploration and experimentation. The materiality of his work pushes the boundaries of the processes he engages with for the concept to manifest.

Whilst exhibiting in various galleries in Australia, Thomas has won major sculpture prizes and commissions for both public and private collections worldwide.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

The innate need to create drives the plasticity in my practice and allows me to roam between the disciplines of drawing, painting and sculpture in some sort of poetic collision.

Through the methods of experimentation and unexpected use of a combination of materials, acceptance of chance reactions, the creative process and discipline is altered and manifested. The process informs the finished work. The working, assembling, recycling and modifying of materials amplifies their spirit essence; as in the ancient alchemical practices, which transforms lead into gold.

My latest works are a reflection on my connection with classical and symbolic art, as a counterpoint to abstraction and the natural environment.
