Thomas Helbig is a German painter and sculptor.
Thomas Helbig studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and at Goldsmiths, University of London from 1989 to 1996. He lives and works in Berlin.
Although Helbig focused primarily on painting during his training, he now works with various media. Sculpture, painting and drawing have a balanced significance within the overall work. The starting point for the sculptures is often an already existing object, found at a flea market or in a second-hand shop. From the found object, mutating hybrids emerge in a process of construction and deconstruction, which communicate with each other in their many forms.
