Atelier Van Lieshout

Joep van Lieshout (1963, Ravenstein)
Joep van Lieshout lives and works in Rotterdam. Since the early eighties he produces objects in mainly bright coloured polyester, the material that would become his trademark in subsequent years. In 1995 he founded Atelier Van Lieshout (AVL), undermining the myth of the individual artistic genius. Atelier Van Lieshout has attained international recognition for objects that balance on the boundary between art, architecture and design. These works of art are practical, uncomplicated and substantial.
Recurring themes in the work of AVL are autarky, power, politics and the more classical themes of life and death.

 

Works of AVL can be found in private collections and several international museums. Please check our exhibition agenda on the news page for current and coming exhibitions.If you have any questions about Atelier Van Lieshout and our works, please contact us via our office in Rotterdam.
