Since the Renaissance till Today, artists have observed closely the phenomena of birth and rebirth (nature, human and animal) and the beauty.

Laleh June Galerie is pleased to announce it's upcoming exhibition Earthly Delights around the phenomena of birth and rebirth and its relationship in art. The group exhibition across different media : taxidermy, painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, sculpture and installation; brings together recent works by Anoush & Aimée, Crystel Ceresa, Wim Delvoye, Sissi Farassat, Kelly McCallum, Behrouz Rae, Marc Rembold, Bouke de Vries and Firooz Zahedi.

Wim DELVOYE, born 1965 in Wervik, he lives and works in Ghent The Belgian artist has gained international recognition through his participation in major exhibitions including the Venice Biennale in 1990, Documenta IX in 1992 and again, the Venice Biennale in 1999 and 2009. ... Cloaca, his famous faeces-producing machine, his embellished everyday objects and tattooed pigs, his monumental cathedrals in metal, along with crooked Christs, obscene stained-glass windows, and steel towers, his sex-rays...The intrusion of the religious into his world comes across as the return of the repressed, metamorphosed by a craftsman’s skill. His audacity disrupts the space-time continuum, questioning genres, cultures, and practices, blending the intellectual and the popular, and confronting the artistic heritage with the latest technology. This will be the second Wim Delvoye exhibition with Laleh June Galerie in Switzerland before other forthcoming projects with the gallery.
