'Fertility Lamp' (2009) is an example of @atelier_van_lieshout’s fascination with the human body. Imbued with the same sense of humor as many of their previous works, the oversized organ conjures up images of tribal fertility gods and male insecurities of size and performance. The proportions and the pose are exaggerated, abstracting the form to a comical level. — Atelier Van Lieshout 'Fertility Lamp', 2009 Fiberglass 93 x 48 x 87 cm #AVL #AtelierVanLieshout #OMR #OMRartist
