Cabinet of contemporary art curiosities

Gothic fantasy and heavy vehicles

 

Wim Delvoye

Belgian artist Wim Delvoye is well known for his extravagant, witty and often controversial artworks, which range from tattoed pigs to X-ray images of sex acts.

A fascination with the ornate Gothic architecture typical of his homeland is reflected in a fantastical take on construction vehicles such as mechanical diggers and cement mixers, several of which have been created as full-scale sculptures, as well as smaller models like that shown here.
