Lives and works in Rotterdam, Netherlands
Erik van Lieshout is a Dutch visual artist. 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 a 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 ambivalencies.
