De Familie Desmet In Den Hemel at The Middelheim Museum, Antwerp

"The essence of Etienne Desmet's work lies in the harmonious balance between 'energy' and 'grace'. The consistent fusion of form and content evokes 'images' that narrate poignant tales of longing and desire, tenderness and trepidation. These images radiate an electrifying dynamism of implied movement while she captivates with a serene power of introspective silence. Etienne Desmet's creations also portray the duality within people and things, the attraction and repulsion, intimacy and aloofness, mental strength and emotional turmoil, as well as the inability to communicate. From these pulsating forces, Etienne Desmet crafts poetic images that serve as beacons to resist the chaotic fragmentation of our lives. In doing so, they condemn the superficiality and ugliness of modern existence. Sharp, pure, and timeless is the 'likeness' of his sculptures, imbued with a magical aura. They are testaments to the majesty of the uselessness that lies beyond the confines of utility!
