WIEGEN DEN UYL

Lives and works in Kamperveen, The Netherland
https://www.wiegendenuyl.nl

Wiegen den Uyl born in 1944 in Diemen (the Netherlands)
comes from the fourth generation of basked makers. In
general all creative people are especially free thinkers.

In Wiegen den Uyl’s philosophy evolution and continuous
movement play an important role. By means of coagulation
processes and by using figurative form elements he seeks
the essence of the phenomenon “genesis“ as he paints and
draws. One can see his paintings as a sort of scan recording.
They form cross sections or snapshots of the process that
occupies his mind. He does not want to be too compelling in
his figuration.
The forms can be regarded as living creatures, but he leaves
open the question whether these are animalistic or human.
In other words: grasping the elusive.
