About
Why this artist matters now
Berlinde De Bruyckere creates installations and sculptures using biomorphic forms that evoke the human body in states of vulnerability and transformation. Her work draws on Flemish Renaissance painting, religious iconography, and classical mythology to explore rawness, mortality, and the physical manifestations of emotional and psychological states. Operating at the intersection of figuration and abstraction, De Bruyckere uses materials including wax, bronze, and fabric to create forms that are simultaneously monumental and intimate, invoking both beauty and discomfort.
