Giant laser-cut catepillars, dump trucks and concrete mixer

Belgian artist Wim Delvoye takes laser-cutting to a new scale with his sculptures of construction vehicles highly detailed in ornate patterns referencing the industrial revolution, gothic cathedrals, victorian architecture and to a degree steampunk culture.

The artist has an eclectic body of work including Cloaca (2000) an installation that produced feces, he’s been tattooing pigs since the 1990s and in 2001, he took x-rays of his friends having sex after they painted small amounts of barium on parts of their bodies. The x-rays were presented as giant stained-glass church windows, abstracted until you got up close to see the details.
