This collection will awaken your senses. Richard Thomas has created a collection that is complex in directions, simple and pure in the portrayal of the land, the vine, the joy, the wine, and the ultimate pleasure of love. The pieces are delicate and witty. Richard’s exacting eye for detail and his labor-intensive craftsmanship bring Bacchus and his muse to life, looking shyly, touching tenderly, exchanging existential thoughts. You will want to hear the song, taste the wine, share the joy. The story is exquisite, the mood intimate, and the sensuality irresistible and inviting. Breathe it in and enjoy!

Richard Thomas truly has been gifted with the ability to bring bronze sculptures to life. His passion for detail and skilled craftsmanship create visual and conceptual pieces rich in precision and beauty, delicately portraying moments of high emotion with the interlacing of both visual and conceptual games.

Richard had a natural fascination with physical features and started drawing at a young age but he wasn’t content with his medium, moving on to carving marble and finally to clay. The expressions of Richard’s Bacchus through his eyes and his face, show the great power of intoxicating love, the sensuous side of the human experience woven with the threads of life, the land, the vine, the good harvest, the wine, the celebration. Richard is fortunate to be able to draw on personal experiences with his wife, Sheri, and a lifetime of celebrations with family and good friends.
