Erik van Lieshout

Erik van Lieshout makes cartoonish drawings, collages and films that are part documentary, part staged performance. He focuses on personal and political circumstances and transgresses boundaries: laying bare his weakest and most embarrassing points and revealing painful societal issues. He uses the notions of the self-portrait, in drawings and films, as a way to infiltrate all domains of psychology, society and art.
