Galerie Ron Mandos is proud to present a solo exhibition by Atelier Van Lieshout during Art Island 2023.
This year 36 leading galleries and non-profit art institutions will showcase their artists at the unique location of Fort Island. This enchanting 4-hectare UNESCO heritage site, located near IJmuiden, has been renamed Art Island especially for this occasion.
Atelier Van Lieshout (AVL) was founded by Rotterdam-based sculptor and visionary Joep van Lieshout. Since its founding in 1995, Van Lieshout has been working exclusively under this name in order to break the myth of the individual artistic genius. Over the past three decades, AVL has produced a multitude of works at the intersection of art, design and architecture. Atelier Van Lieshout received international recognition for sculptural installations with controversial, sinister and playful undertones.
During Art Island 2023, we will present a diverse collection of sculptures that highlight the characteristic themes of Atelier Van Lieshout. Notable works to expect include Rider of the Apocalypse, Girl with Bucket, Egg with Hanging Tree and Waterbasin Man. These sculptures embody Atelier Van Lieshout's unique take on major topics such as sex, systems, power and life and death.
