Drastisch und schonungslos, die Kunst des 1968 geborenen Niederländers Erik van Lieshout lässt wohl kaum einen Betrachter unberührt. Es ist ein ganzes, fremd anmutendes, Universum an Grafiken, Installationen, Malereien und Video-Kunst. Männer mit Bart und Brüsten in Bikinis, eine selber gebaute Sauna aus Isolier-Matten, nackte Soldatinnen mit Tarn-Schminke und Patronen-Gürtel, mit Waffen spielende Kinder. Einfühlsamkeit prallt hier auf pure Aggressivität.

Oh la la! Absolut lesens- und sehenswert! (MB)

Dutch artist Erik van Lieshout’s art appears drastic and merciless yet hardly leaves any viewer untouched. With his graphics, installations, paintings and video works, the artist creates a completely strange universe that is home to bearded men with breasts wearing bikinis, a self-made sauna constructed from insulation mats, naked female soldiers covered in camouflage make up or children playing with firearms. Empathy collides here with pure aggression.

Absolutely worth seeing!

Erik van Lieshout first became known in the early 2000s for his visceral videos in which he often plays a central role, shown in environments of his own making: installations whose rough, bricolaged forms belie their sophistication. Whilst his immediate subject matter is often directly influenced by the political and social context of the Netherlands, van Lieshout?s work provocatively raises issues that are relevant across Europe and beyond: immigration and integration, class and gentrification. Despite these weighty topics, his work can be outrageously funny, using satire to reveal the failings of our society. With equally brutal honesty, he explores his own failings, both as a human being and as an artist. In recent works, he particularly questions art?s direct social impact and its potential to do good.
