Ben Trupperbaumer
Ben Trupperbaumer was born in West German and moved to Australia in 1976. He is one of the leading sculptors in the Cairns/Port Douglas area.
Ben expresses a great awareness in his work of the tropical environment. His sculptures explore contemporary ecological issues, in particular the tension between fragility and strength, symmetry and disorder, balance and chaos.
He uses recycled timber to make statements about the influence of man on the Australian landscape. Bronze and timber are used separately or in combination for those which seek to tell of the essence of nature on a more domestic scale.
