Nick Cave Instagram – Opening Tomorrow: Nick Cave, ‘The Devil — A Life’
At Xavier Hufkens, Nick Cave presents ‘The Devil — A Life’ (2020-24), a series of seventeen glazed ceramic figurines that tells the cradle-to-grave story of the Devil.
In this series, the young Devil inherits the world, grows up and falls in love. He is brave, fights a lion and rides off to war. He kills his firstborn son, is shunned for his transgressions and turns into a shell of his former self. Ultimately, he suffers an abject death before achieving, in the final work, a child’s posthumous forgiveness.
Like a parable, ‘The Devil — A Life’ chronicles a process of mental and physical transformation, namely the transition from innocence to experience.
📆 The exhibition will be on view until 11 May at the gallery’s St-Georges location in Brussels.
