Thomas Lerooy — The Kiss
Thomas Lerooy

The Kiss

2009

A bronze sculpture by Thomas Lerooy depicting two figures locked in an intimate embrace, their forms merging and contorting in the artist's characteristically visceral and darkly expressive style. The raw, textured quality of the cast bronze amplifies the tension between tenderness and unease that defines the work. Presented on a painted wooden plinth and encased in a glass vitrine, the three-part composition elevates the scene to one of precious yet unsettling significance.
