Thomas Raschke studied art at the Akademie dBK, Stuttgart. He lives and works in Berlin. He has shown extensively in Germany and in France, most recently in a solo show at Galerie Wieland in December 2001(click here for Galerie Wieland's website). The work is also part of an upcoming show at the Stadtliche Museum in Heilbronn.
This is the first time his work is exhibited in the UK.

At the Centre of Attention, he presents sculptures made of iron wires, which create three-dimensional objects called Electric Drill or Pressure Cooker. Any true visual penetration of these wire frames, including all possible views and perspectives, is imaginable as they exist as drawings in space. The lines become minimal shorthand for complex plastic forms; they define an anchor for the eye, which is fooled by the familiarity of the object.
