Wim Delvoy is a very original artist. He calls his direction in creativity neo-conceptual.
Biography
Wim Delvoye is from Belgium. He was born in Werwick in January 1965. As a child, the boy went not only to a comprehensive school, but also to the local Academy of Arts. After graduating from these two institutions, he entered the Royal Academy of Arts. That was in 1983. And in 1986, Delvoy shows his painted carpets. The museum’s founder and curator, Jan Hoot, helped him organize this exhibition.
Creation
Then the artist makes a bronze sculpture. It is called "Kiss." But this work provoked a series of protests. After all, the sculptor decided to show how two roe deer mated, but he captured animals in unusual positions. Therefore, many suspected that under the guise of a roe deer, Delvoy portrayed people making love.
Other projects of this famous and infamous artist are also very doubtful.
One of his works is called Cloaca.
Wim Delvoy created the machine to look like the human digestive system. When food is laid in it, having gone through all the stages, the food turns into excrement.
The Belgian Museum of Modern Art has exhibited this work. Those who wish can watch how gourmet dishes are prepared in this car three times a day, which are prepared in one of the best Belgian restaurants. Then digestion takes place. This work has a length of 12 meters, includes six transparent flasks. Each of them reproduces a certain organ: stomach, gastrointestinal tract and so on.
These flasks with the help of hoses are connected to each other, and the computer helps to manage them.
Those who wish can buy the resulting excrement in a packed form.
But this is not the only contribution of the neo-artist to the development of a very dubious art direction. He created the next project.
Art farm
Delvois Wim in 1997 came up with how to use animals for their own purposes. He tattooed four pigs and demonstrated animals in Antwerp Park. But the four-legged defenders protested. Then this artist created a farm in the vicinity of Beijing, where he grows and shows his pigs.
