JOS WIGMAN
Jos Wigman is an artist who enables
me as a curator to show high-quality
art to a wide audience. His work is
accessible because color plays an
attractive role in figuration, landscapes
and abstractions. Started in black-andwhite
graphics, Jos Wigman later
decided to take the viewer with him in
his appealing colorite.
His work is not only important from a
content-artistic point of view. There is
always talk of craftsmanship in the use
of technology, material, his choice for
oil paint and working in distinctive
texture. His landscapes evoke a
pleasant silence. At the same time you
can hear the poetic narrative that
underlies painting or drawing.
His poetry is not only depicted in
paintings, but can also be experienced
in his texts. Besides being a painter,
Jos Wigman is also a singer /
songwriter and already has several
CDs to his name. He also manages
other disciplines, such as spatial work,
designing and creating design, and in
1995 he made his first feature film.
His last visual work concerns a series
of fascinating collages with balanced
lines and surface division in mostly
primary colors and sometimes
monumental woof.
