Berlinde De Bruyckere: No Life Lost

Belgian artist Berlinde De Bruyckere’s large-scale sculptures and installations of wax, wood, textile, metal and horse hide are executed in an unmistakable artistic style. Grappling with the existential human condition, De Bruyckere’s work addresses human vulnerability and fragility, desire and suffering, resilience and transformation.
In our crisis-ridden contemporary age when human existence is becoming increasingly precarious, Berlinde De Bruyckere’s sensitive examination of our common existential ground takes on a particular urgency. Characterised by distorted organic forms and bodies, De Bruyckere’s work has an intrusive almost eerie materiality.
