About the Experience
About Thomas
Thomas Bucich, a New York native and permanent resident in Australia, has pursued his professional career running a multi-disciplinary studio in Art and Design since 1990. From classical fine arts training at The Arts Students League and a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Architectural Design from Parsons School of Design in New York City, Thomas’s career has spanned across the architectural interior and fine arts markets in New York and Sydney.
Following nearly three decades producing luxury interior residential and commercial environments, while also maintaining an active fine art practice; Thomas has now committed to a full time pursuit of expanding his art through commissions, working alongside art consultants and producing exhibitions. His works are created in a variety of mediums including cast bronze, carved stone, and manipulated found objects through to works on paper and canvas.
Whilst exhibiting in various galleries in Sydney and Regionally, Thomas has won major sculpture prizes and commissions including the Thredbo Sculpture prize with permanent placement of a life size cast bronze in the Thredbo Village Green, The Moss Vale Veterans War Memorial - an 18 metre long relief mixed media sculpture, and recently a commission for over 200 wall sculptures for Midnight Hotel, Canberra. His works are also in the permanent collections of several international hotels, corporate offices, restaurants and private collectors.
