| General info : | | Wim Delvoye (born 1965 in Wervik, West Flanders, Belgium) is a Belgian neo-conceptual artist known for his inventive and often shocking projects.
Much of his work is focused on the body. He repeatedly links the attractive with the repulsive, creating work that holds within it inherent contradictions- one does not know whether to stare, be seduced, or to look away.
As Robert Enright wrote in Border Crossings, "Delvoye is involved in a way of making art that reorients our understanding of how beauty can be created".
Wim Delvoye has an eclectic oeuvre, exposing his interest in a range of themes, from bodily function,and scatology to the function of art in the current market economy, and numerous subjects in between.
Delvoye rose to fame with his digestive machine, Cloaca.
From Gothic motifs to Baroque-inspired contorted and twisted crucifixes, his art has been exhibited at the Louvre in Paris. The exhibition opened with a specially commissioned sculpture displayed under the glass pyramid of the Louvre’s entrance hall. The 12m-high gothic-style twisted steel structure called Suppo -- its name and torpedo shape an allusion to a suppository -- was positioned as if to penetrate the pyramid’s point and set the provocative tone of Delvoye’s display.
He owns a castle named "de Bueren" in Melle, Belgium.
