HILDE VAN DE WALLE

Lives and works in Zottegem, Belgium.

Hilde Van de Walle explores the mystery of humanity in her artworks. With her sculptures, she aims to achieve maximum expressiveness, which for her represents a constant search for a powerful image with as few distracting elements as possible.

Her sculptures capture a frozen moment of movement, challenging the viewer to reflect on the preceding or following actions.

Van de Walle's idiosyncratic visual language dislocates the standard anatomy and expresses the relationships between body parts in unique ways, consciously eliminating certain parts to acheve a pure form of expression.

The understated charisma of her artwork invites dialogue with the environment and the viewer. Even the residual spaces around and between the sculptures are not regarded by Van de Walle as empty, but as a sounding board that resonates with the intangible.
