Robert Thomas, sculptor

A unique collection of bronze sculpture for Wales
 

“While founded on sound classical values, his work makes an instant appeal to the non-specialist observer. His liking for people, his warm respect for caring motherhood, his affection for children and his admiration of the male and female form are immediately perceived.”

Throughout his life, Robert was acutely aware of the responsibility of creating a legacy in bronze that would be a gift to future generations and that could possibly survive for thousands of years. Robert Thomas's family and friends have therefore decided to seek funding to create a unique collection of his work to be placed on show to the public in Wales.
    Although the individual sculptures are instantly recognisable, their cumulative impact is all the greater because the stylistic and thematic relationships reinforce each work. Robert's sculpture, whether of a single figure lost in thought or of a group which interacts with each other, reminds us of moments or events in our lives. His genius was to capture their beauty in ways that can relate to our own experiences.

   The initial aim of the Trust is to cast into bronze one major Robert Thomas sculpture to be donated or loaned for exhibition at a suitable venue in Wales. Beyond this we would like to be able to cast into bronze for donation an unrivalled collection of major sculptures togather with relief sculptures, portraits, maquettes and statuettes. Ideally these would be sited at one location in Wales where they could be viewed by the public from Wales and the world. Dreaming Girl
