Berlinde de Bruyckere is a young artist from Belgium. The duality of love and suffering, danger and protection, life and death continually arises in her work. In her horse sculptures she covers the casts of horses’ bodies with skins and models them into poses. Berlinde de Bruyckere says of the horses’ heads, ‘at the last moment I decided I didn’t want to see a face , nor a muzzle, I sometimes only want to keep a reference to the ears, which are somehow what make it a cuddly animal.’ |

Since the early nineties, Berlinde de Bruyckere has been working with blankets–woolen blankets that cover and protect–as the material for her sculptures and installations. For De Bruyckere they symbolize not only warmth and shelter, but also vulnerability and fear. Fear that makes people crawl under blankets and vulnerability in situations related to cold, illness, disaster and war.

by Janet Koplos
This two-person show consisted of separate installations by Peter Buggenhout and Berlinde de Bruyckere, a married couple who live in Ghent, Belgium. She is the better known of the two, because her work in two recent outdoor shows in Holland provoked minor controversies

La Fondation de la Maison Rouge, Boulevard de la Bastille à Paris, reçoit jusqu’à l’automne des hôtes étranges et mélancoliques. Les sculptures de l’artiste flamande Berlinde de Bruyckere, sorte de Piétas contemporaines, portent en elles une puissance évocatrice bouleversante. Incarnées, décharnées, mystiques et profanes, humaines trop humaines, elles ne peuvent laisser insensibles. A découvrir, entre curiosité et effroi.

In het Italiaanse paviljoen op de Biënnale van Venetië is een beeld te zien van de Belgische kunstenares Berlinde de Bruyckere - een vrouwenfiguur staat op een klein plankje aan de muur, het gezicht en lichaam bedekkend met haar lange haar. Een paar jaar geleden zag ik het werk van de kunstenares in De Brakke Grond in Amsterdam
