            Wim Delvoye - Labour of Love - Noordbrabants Museum Den Bosch, the Netherlands
Fun, provocative, and rebellious: these words perfectly describe the artworks by Belgian artist, Wim Delvoye. His work reflects his extraordinary skill, but it is also full of contradictions. This is the first solo exhibition in the Netherlands by this internationally renowned artist. You will discover that nothing is what it seems in this impressive compilation of his work. Wim Delvoye has a fondness for traditional handicrafts and skilled workmanship. His boundless productivity has led to this particular eclectic collection of artworks: from gas canisters decorated with Delft Blue patterns and gothic trucks to his stained glass windows with x-rays of the human body. Delvoye likes to play with opposites. He is always looking for ways to bring together arts and craft, popular culture, and fine art. 
Delvoye manages to effortlessly sneak in all kinds of everyday objects into the world of art, including car tyres, suitcases, and ironing boards. He marries them together with highly valuable materials or religious images. The result is strange and confusing combinations that allow you to step back and observe recognizable objects in a different light. Wim Delvoye collaborates with specialists from all over the world. He visits artisan workshops and factories in various countries in search of the finest quality. A good example of this is his series of aluminium suitcases that he asked Iranian metalworkers to decorate for him. Wim Delvoye views society critically and with irony. Delvoye has won international acclaim for his artwork, particular for his Cloaca series. His artworks are on exhibit in museums all over the world. His previous solo exhibitions were held in the Royal Museum of Fine Art in Brussels, the Louvre in Paris, and The Contemporary Art Museum of Luxembourg. Wim Delvoye: Labour of Love is the first solo exhibition in the Netherlands of Wim Delvoye's work.
