A comprehensive overview of renowned Belgian artist Berlinde De
Bruyckere's work since 2014, inspired by the figure of the angel
Belgian artist Berlinde De Bruyckere has long been a leading light
in the international contemporary art world whose sculptures,
installations and drawings endeavor to find the meaning of
humanity, physicality, suffering and vitality. Conceived in the
loneliness and isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book
explores De Bruyckere's recent, never-before-seen work inspired by
the figure of the angel as portrayed in myths, stories, literature
and art history. According to De Bruyckere, an angel-with its warm,
dark wings-provides protection, a refuge from fear. The angel
guards against a lonely existence and, even more importantly,
against a lonely death. It symbolizes the fragile line De Bruyckere
treads between artistic poeticism and engagement with current
affairs. This volume will serve as an essential resource on an
artist whose works constitute a provocative and influential
addition to the contemporary art canon. Distributed for
Mercatorfonds Exhibition Schedule: Bonnefantenmuseum Maastrich, The
Netherlands (March 29-September 26, 2021)
