Thomas Kiesewetter is a German sculptor known for creating bold, dynamic forms that feel like they’re in motion—even when standing completely still. His sculptures twist, bend, and fold in unexpected ways, often made from metal sheets shaped into something that feels playful, architectural, and slightly off-balance in the best possible way.

There’s a sense of spontaneity in Kiesewetter’s work, like each piece was frozen mid-transformation. He works mainly with materials like aluminum and steel, cutting and assembling them into fluid shapes that seem to defy their own weight. The surfaces are often painted in bright, flat colors—giving them the energy of abstract paintings brought into three dimensions.

While rooted in formalism and modernist traditions, Kiesewetter’s sculptures never feel academic. They’re full of life, humor, and a kind of offbeat elegance. You can see hints of bodies, machines, or folded paper—but the works never settle into one clear meaning.

Kiesewetter has exhibited widely across Europe and beyond, with solo shows at institutions like Kunstverein Heilbronn, Skulpturenpark Köln, and Capitain Petzel in Berlin. His works are included in major public collections such as the Kunstmuseum Bonn and the Falckenberg Collection.

Whether installed in a gallery or in public space, his sculptures always seem to shift the atmosphere around them—reminding us that even solid materials can carry a sense of movement, curiosity, and play.
