In his sculptures, he masterfully transforms utilitarian vehicles into elaborate, labyrinthine structures of metal, where towering spires, delicate tracery, and stained glass motifs take on a bold, contemporary incarnation. Rooted in a reverence for tradition, craftsmanship, and engineering, Delvoye’s work reflects a deep appreciation for historical artistry while embracing modern innovation.
“My fascination with the Gothic is that it isn’t dark at all. For me, it shows something like European springtime.” – Wim Delvoye
