Atelier Van Lieshout

Endless Column

2015

Steel
80 x 80 x 440 cm

The sculpture is both contemporary and utopian, primitive and archaic, a tribal object mixed with modernism.

Some forms are cubic and mathematical, others irrational and intuitive, and follow the logical engineering of the body’s bones and tissues, all connected with reason and purpose. With reference to a world of rites and rituals, the totem embraces the optimism of construction and new energy, the emergence of a new world order , rejecting old order, and the artist’s embrace of the industrial revolution, art, and science, to create Neo-futurist symbols connected to the ruins of the past.

Endless Column (2015) was part of the following exhibition(s):
‘Let’s Get Physical’, Atelier Van Lieshout, Rotterdam (NL), 2020 – 2021
