Berlinde de Bruyckere
LESTEL, 2008, wax, epoxy, iron, wood 

“With Letsel , and like most of Berlinde De Bruyckere’s sculptures, this heap of flesh hanging from “a thread” that is nothing but a butcher’s hook plays on the ambiguity of an animal or human flesh. “No matter,” says the artist, “we are all destined to disappear.” A modern vanity in short.”
