Serebryanicheskaya Emb., 19, Moscow
Wim Delvoye is one of the most provocative and profound conceptual artists, whose ironical interpretations refill the daily objects with a new meaning.
Delvoye’s unpredictable experiments turn the gas cylinders to Delft tiles, transform the shovels and ironing boards into the ancient shields, convert the construction machinery – cranes, dump trucks and concrete mixers – into the airy structures decorated with an interwoven ornament of the Gothic architecture.

“I’m extremely fascinated with the theories of evolution. I read all of the Darwin books and the Richard Dawkins books, as well as others. As an artist, I’m also interested in religion because art is another form of religion.”

“With my way of working, you don’t define yourself by a material but by a way of thinking and working. This allows me to be very free and to do very different things….I like when something is difficult; I get more excited.”
