Krinzinger Schottenfeld

Currently on view at Krinzinger Schottenfeld: “Light in the Darkness“ by Atelier Van Lieshout!
The lamp’s singular functionality proved extremely fruitful creatively, as evidenced by the exhibition Van Lieshout does not limit himself to any shape, type or style. Some of his creations might look conventional at first, but have been executed in robust steel or the base and the shade have been turned up side down making the light shine from below and elevating the base to the status of sculpture on a pedestal. The visual language often refers to known AVL themes, such as human anatomy, utilitarian objects necessary for survival and the relentless progression of time.
