The moth is the palimpsest of the soul in flight to the next world and back. Night blooms in the ultraviolet center of a poppy. The fundamental exploration of the mystery is all De Bruycker is after. His only dogma: intense sustained wonder. The point of art is to bring spirit to matter. Dirk De Bruycker does this exceedingly well." - Jon Carver AWARDS 1991 Vlaamse Executieve, Dienst Musea en Beeldende Kunst: Visual Artists Workgrant 1989 National Endowment for the Arts, Visual Arts Fellowship Grant 1988 Laureate, Visions of Excellence, Albuquerque United Artists, NM 1982 Printmaking Laureate, Province of East Flanders Award of Fine Arts, Belgium COLLECTIONS Flemish Community Government, Province of East Flanders Ministry of Visual Arts, Brussels, Belgium Embassy Suites Hotel, Chicago, IL First Union Bank, North Carolina HTC Services, Hutchinson, MN Hallmark Collection, Kansas City, MO Microsoft Collection, Seattle, WA Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, NM Hank Vigil Collection, Seattle WA Marriott Group Ohio Weslyn University, OH Sprint Collection, Kansas City, MO Bellagio Collection, Las Vegas, NV Daum Museum of Contemporary Art, Sedalia, MO The Federal Reserve, Kansas City, KS |
