Diet Wiegman: Growing Icon
Nothing is what it seems in the work of Diet Wiegman (1944). Drawings become sculptures, sculptures become three-dimensional collages, and collages become light projections. He transforms an accumulation of scrap materials into Michelangelo鈥檚 David or Magritte鈥檚 La reproduction interdite. This autumn Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen presents a new work by Wiegman alongside a light sculpture, a series of photographs and two video pieces.
Diet Wiegman graduated from the Willem de Kooning Academie in Rotterdam in 1965. Throughout his fifty-year career he has never restricted himself to a single discipline or theme. He makes drawings, paintings, sculptures and public art works. Wiegman quickly achieved recognition for his light sculptures in which light is projected onto an assemblage to create the shadow silhouette of an iconic sculpture.
