Sculpture Studio
Thomas Lehnigk

From Craft to Art

With a distinctive sense of form and design, Thomas Lehnigk transforms steel, stone, and bronze into sculptures that captivate both indoor and outdoor spaces. His works combine aesthetic clarity with spatial presence, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and engage with the material.
Thomas Lehnigk, born in 1967 in Ludwigslust, Mecklenburg, is an artist deeply connected to nature and the materials he shapes. After completing various apprenticeships, he found his true vocation in the arts. Painting, graphic design, product design, and photography laid the foundation for his sculptural work.

Since 1998, he has been working as a freelance artist, realizing numerous exhibitions and public art installations. His studio at KUNST WERK KUMMER (KWK) serves as a creative retreat, where his sculptures are presented in the on-site gallery and sculpture garden.

As a member of the Künstlerbund Mecklenburg und Vorpommern e.V. (Artists’ Association of Mecklenburg and Western Pomerania) since 2004, he received the Güstrow City Art Prize in 2009 and the Ludwig Reinhard Cultural Prize in 2021. His works can be found in public collections such as the Museum Hagenow and the Museum Wismar.

At the entrance to the village of Kummer, visitors are greeted by one of his sculptures – “Kumera,” derived from the Slavic word for mosquito – a steel sculpture created by the artist.
