Der niederländische Künstler Erik van Lieshout thematisiert in seinen Arbeiten gesellschaftspolitische Fragestellungen unserer Zeit und führt politische Missstände und gesellschaftliche Konflikte vor Augen. Persönliche Grenzen und gesellschaftliche Tabus werden unterlaufen und Mechanismen der Rollenzuschreibung, des Rollenverständnisses und der Schuldübertragung offengelegt. Die exhibitionistische Direktheit lässt einen unverwechselbaren Kosmos entstehen, indem das Leben freimütig und respektlos neu verhandelt wird. (Stefanie Stuböck).

The starting point for this artwork series is the town of Deurne in the South of the Netherlands, where the artist, born in 1968, grew up. In the 1980s he campaigned with a group of activists for the preservation and expansion of the natural landscape. At that time the original peat landscape had already been turned into agricultural land. Erik van Lieshout’s engagement with the topic started in September 2022 and turned into an ongoing project for the artist.
‘This project is about peat and family; the ground where we are from, but also about politics and climate change. Peatland stores CO2, but when this land is changed into something else a lot of CO2 comes into the air. As an artist I can do something in this land because I know the people very well; my family is here.

Erik Van Lieshout, born 1968 in Deurne, the Netherlands.
Erik van Lieshout lives and works in Rotterdam. He studied at Ateliers ’63 (1991-1992) and exhibited
internationally. Raised as a son of two social workers and activists in the 1970’s – travelling with his
parents from one demo gathering to the other - van Lieshout works in a variety of disciplines, mainly
with uncompromising video installations and drawings, in which he often combines the political with the
personal. His videos make use of stop motion animations and are close to documentary style. He works
with embarrassment and humor, often stepping into the satirical with his direct approach to human
society and its many ambivalences.
Solo exhibitions include René Daniëls, Maureen Paley, London, 2022; René Daniëls, De Pont Tilburg,
2022, together with René Daniëls; Sündenbock (Scapegoat), Kunstverein Hannover, Hannover, 2017;
The Show Must Ego On, WIELS Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels, 2016; Commission, MMK Museum
für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt, 2015
His works were shown in 2003 at the Biennale in Venice, in 2002 in the exhibition “Politically Correct? Dutch!“ at the Krinzinger Projekte und in 2004 with »Tessa« at the Galerie Krinzinger. Pieces by the artist have also been featured in solo exhibitions at the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen Rotterdam, Kunsthaus Zürich, MASS MoCA North Adams, Museum Ludwig Köln, Museum Kunst Palast Düsseldorf and in spring of 2010 works by van Lieshout were shown at the Hayward Gallery in London. He is mainly known for his drawings that subvert political correctness, good taste and stereotypes with their trashy, caricature-like style. His drawings are often accompanied by installations that are hardly any less trashy, but usually have a practical function and thus encourage interaction or serve as a framework for presenting his videos.
