Belinde De Bruyckere: ‘Yara’ (‘The Wound’)
Berlinde De Bruyckere creates sculptures and drawings that refer to suffering and desire, by revealing the fragility of the body and the vulnerability of existence. From her conceptual and abstract sculptures to her figurative works, the diversity of her forms build a continuity through the frequent use of materials such as wax, wood, fabric, horse skin and hair. "The Wound" presents, alongside sculptures and drawings the artist realised since the 1990s, a number of new pieces, which she has produced especially for the exhibition in Istanbul.
