About the Item
Becoming by British sculptor Ian Thomson. Thomson's travels have provided inspiration for his work. He holds degrees in Architecture and Philosophy & describes his influences as Greek and Egyptian sculpture which includes names such as Michelangelo, Rodin, Degas, Manzu and Maillol. His influences also come from closer to home, namely his mother, an artist who exhibited at the Venice Biennale. Thomson works on raw marble blocks, after painstakingly planning his vision to the last detail on a clay maquette.
“I believe that in art we must use nature as our principal influence." Ian Thomson
In a statement regarding this artwork, Thomson writes:
‘Despite Heraclitus being described as “the weeping philosopher” I couldn’t help but latch onto what seemed to me as being the optimistic side of his philosophy. It struck me that unless we are perfect humans, permanent stasis cannot be a desirable condition. Furthermore, if change is both unavoidable and rest promoting, then we should welcome it as the vehicle by which we become better, more peaceful and wiser individuals. A drastic change, a transformation for the better is what so many people desire.
These are the kind of things I was thinking when I made my sculpture “Becoming”.’
