While the first volume of the two-part publication on "Plateau mit Halbfigur" offers insight into Thomas Scheibitz's extensive research and outlines a structure of ideas characterized by multilayered references, allusions, and opening fields of association, this second volume is dedicated to the completed sculpture, with a focus on its contextualization. His largest sculpture to date: "Plateau mit Halbfigur" is an impressive sculptural statement that spurs us to think about the contemporary core of the traditional genre of sculpture. "Giving form to an idea remains the goal," says the artist.
