Thomas Berger

http://www.greenart.com

Mediums - stone sculpture, garden design

Artist's Statement -Thomas Berger honors the beauty of nature in garden design and stone sculpture. He draws his inspiration from his experience with the elements of the natural world: plants and animals, stone, water, the earth. His sculptural work has an organic quality and expresses a fossil-like timelessness. Many of his works represent fish, birds, invertebrate animals, and plants.

Biography - Thomas Berger was born in Bernkastel-Kues, Germany, where he grew up gardening and collecting shells, fossils, bones and other objects from nature. Thomas holds a degree in agriculture from Kassel University and worked in Germany, France, Australia and West Africa before moving to the U.S., where he founded 'Green Art', a stone sculpting and landscaping business. His business includes a sculpture park with display gardens.

A fish Called John Dori
A fish Called John Dori, beach rock,"length 55 cm"
John Dori ist tatsächlich der Name dieser Fischart die man ab und zu im Golf von Maine fangen kann. Meine Skulptur hat ein paar echte und imitierte Risse in der Steinobefläche, und auch sonst sieht es urig und alt aus - fast wie ein Fossil.

Perforated Exoskeleton
Perforated Exoskeleton, beach rock,"height 60 cm"
This is one of my new works inspired by the structures of microscopic sea organisms such as diatomes and crusty bryozoes.
