Lutgart De Meyer is a Belgian artist who studied in the 1940s at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. She co-founded the G58 group with twenty-six other artists (twenty-four men and two women) that organized a series of exhibitions, as well as performances, theater and dance shows, poetry readings, and debates between 1958 and 1962. In this context, she encountered several avant-garde figures, including Yves Klein and Jean Tinguely, whose work she particularly admired. In the 1960s, after the dissolution of G58 and her divorce, Lutgart De Meyer shifted towards applied arts, creating marketable ceramic objects such as ashtrays, coffee tables, and vases. Ten years later, she returned to her artistic practice, experimenting with ceramic-polyester combinations. Around the age of 75, she abandoned ceramics, describing it as becoming too formal for her. She then explored collage, assemblage, and sculpture incorporating natural materials (dried fruits, branches, stacks of wood) or recycled materials collected during her urban walks and market visits. She notably created a series of collages from pieces of used jeans.

In 2017, her work was featured in the collective exhibition Lost in Garbage at the Verbeke Foundation. In 2008, she participated in the retrospective exhibition of the G58 group at the Albert Van Dyck Museum in Schilde, while a retrospective exhibition dedicated to her was held in 2019 in Antwerp.
