Gold Tripes

The works that make up the Tripes Series are all unique. These sculptural stoneware forms resemble the blotted forms of balloons or an intestine. The stoneware pieces are enamelled in shiny black or covered with 24k gold. Hugo Meert often evokes the eroticism associated with working with clay, which he expresses here through the “dilated” rendering of tripe. The Tripes Series was first presented in 2012 by Annette Sloth (Galerie Puls, Brussels).
