Belgian artist Sofie Muller (b. 1974, Sint Niklaas) crafts alabaster and bronze sculptures and smoke drawings from her Ghent studio. Her oeuvre weaves a complex narrative of body, identity, gender, and memory. Muller’s child sculptures and drawings embody mental states arising from the duality of body and mind. Articulating contradictions, exploring genetic transformation, and reflecting on themes like desire and exclusion, she delves into the human condition. Muller’s continuous exploration of individual vulnerability is supported by materials such as blood, smoke, and alabaster, enriching her installations and works on paper. Her artistic pursuit strives to intimately approach human nature and the essence of life.
