Thomas Räpke’s work lies at the intersection of craftsmanship, design, and the visual arts. Using metal, he creates woven structures and lattice sculptures whose clear geometry combines structural precision with sculptural presence. Grids, squares, and serial order characterize his artistic language and evoke architecture and the formal language of Modernism.

His works are crafted from steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, or brass, revealing their underlying structure. Through weaving, folding, and techniques such as etching, flame-treating, oxidizing, or patinating, the surfaces acquire a multi-layered materiality.

Räpke views the grid as a fundamental principle of order. His works combine construction, material, and surface into a timeless formal language. This results in works that make the clarity, structure, and sensual quality of metal tangible.

The metal sculptures presented here in the ART BOX are not only standalone works of art but also serve as models for the creation of large-scale sculptures.
