Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Berlinde De Bruyckere is a Belgian artist who creates challenging and haunting sculptural installations in a range of media, including wool, wood, wax, horse skin and hair. Explorations of the abject pervade Berlinde De Bruyckere's practice, specifically her reconfigurations of the human body into new and troubling forms.
 
« we are part of nature and the importance of nature. »
Berlinde De Bruyckere
Her work on the body began in the early 1990s. Initially, it was marked by its absence, as De Bruyckere draped furniture with woollen blankets (a response to news reports she had witnessed of Rwandan refugees wrapped in blankets).
 
« I want to show how helpless a body can be, which is nothing to be afraid of – it can be something beautiful. »
Berlinde De Bruyckere


Later her sculptural works incorporated wax bodies covered in wool. Berlinde De Bruyckere went on to deploy the bodies of horses in works that create a startling and disturbing tension between form and matter. The artist's preoccupation with the abject places her work within the contexts of the Bataillean narrative of surrealism and the concerns of feminist art theory.
