Atelier Van Lieshout

Nouveau Brutaliste

2015

Carved wood
100 x 62 x 68 cm

With its abstract, geometrical shapes, the Nouveau Brutaliste holds a clear reference to the utopian modernist movements of the early 20th century. At the same time, however, the installation addresses mans’ most primeval needs for rituals and rites. The installation is part of the ongoing series by Atelier Van Lieshout, entitled New Tribal Labyrinth, which presents a vision of a future, yet primitive, world inhabited by imaginary tribes where there will be different ethics. This world will see a return to farming and industry, to rituals and rites.
