Atelier Van Lieshout (AVL), founded by artist Joep van Lieshout in 1995, is a multidisciplinary art practice encompassing installation, design, furniture and architecture. The work varies from sculptures and furniture, to large installations and complete architectural refurbishments. One of the many applications and techniques used by AVL are the large polyester constructions in striking, bright colours. Recurring themes in the work of AVL are autarky, power, politics and sex.
