Artist Biography:
Sculptor, Tom Lingeman, works primarily in cast bronze and welded steel. He is also a draughtsman who uses drawing as a means of designing and planning sculpture as well as an end in itself. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education from Ball State University in 1973 and a Master of Fine Arts Degree from Southern Illinois University of Carbondale in 1979 where he specialized in lost wax investment casting. He joined the faculty of the University of Toledo to teach Sculpture at the Toledo Museum of Art in 1979 and continues today as a Sculptor and Professor of Art.
Mr. Lingeman’s work can be found in numerous public and private collections including “Every Generation” at the Lucas County Juvenile Justice Center, “A Collection of Forces” at the University of Findlay and a large-scale outdoor works in Ottawa Hills and Elmore, OH. Tom has produced exhibitions and has lectured numerous times at the Glasgow School of Art in Glasgow, Scotland. He has also shown at La Camara De Comercio in Toledo, Spain and The Vesprem County Art Association in Balatonalmadi, Hundary.

Artist Statement:
“I have always been enthralled and inspired by ritual icons, funerary vessels and the mystery embodied in monumental sculptural objects, which; like ‘standing stones’, by their very permanence on the landscape, mark time and space for us. Almost all of my previous work in cast and fabricated metal is, at least in part, inspired be this interest. Within the past few years I have generated a body of vertical freestanding sculpture that is an extension of this work, reflecting my personal and long-held interest in the monuments of the American rural cemetery.
