Diet Wiegman (born 24 January 1944, Schiedam), is a Dutch multidisciplinary visual artist from the Netherlands. 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. Wiegman is called an ‘omnivore in art’ because every medium shows up in his oeuvre. Sculptures, paintings, drawings, glass and ceramic objects, performance art, art in public space, referring to fashion, architecture and more. In his performances, music and dance were also integrated. More and more he combines his works from various periods and mixes everything together. In his own words: ‘Analogous to life, just as every person reuses his early experiences and memories and combines them with new achievements from the present’. Pioneer in shadow sculptures Wiegman’s international breakthrough came with his shadow and light sculptures (also known as shadow art) where, by illuminating a pile of waste, a contrasting image would appear on the wall in the form of a highly detailed shadow. He later made sculptures in which he integrated shattered glass and mirror reflections with his shadow-art concept. By creating shadow art for almost five decades, Wiegman is seen as a pioneer in this field and his work has inspired numerous artists throughout the years. For his Michael Jackson portrait, Shadow Dancing, Wiegman placed his twisted sculpture on a rotating pedestal. As the sculpture turns, the shadow sways and morphs before freezing in Jackson's iconic pose.

DIET WIEGMAN Diet Wiegman (1944): briljante multidisciplinaire kunstenaar. Hij studeerde in 1965 af aan de Willem de Kooning Academie in Rotterdam. Hij beperkte zich gedurende zijn carrière nooit tot één discipline of thema. Hij maakte tekeningen, schilderijen, sculpturen en werken in de openbare ruimte. Al snel kreeg Wiegman bekendheid met zijn schaduwobjecten; sculpturen die worden belicht, waardoor het silhouet van een iconische beeld zichtbaar wordt. Wiegman wordt gezien als de pionier van de schaduwobjecten. Niets is wat het lijkt in het werk van Diet Wiegman. Tekeningen verwerkt hij tot sculpturen, sculpturen tot driedimensionale collages en collages tot schaduwobject. Zo verandert een opeenstapeling afgedankt materiaal in Michelangelo’s David of La reproduction interdite van René Magritte. Zijn relativerende levensvisie is vaak terug te vinden in zijn werk dat hierdoor eigenzinnig en soms tegendraads genoemd kan worden. Zijn realistische keramiek, spiegel- en schaduwobjecten vormen slechts het topje van de ijsberg binnen zijn wereld van illusie en werkelijkheid. Hij speelt serieus met schijn en werkelijkheid, met opbouw en af braak, met plat en ruimtelijk, met papier, foto's en allerlei (afval) materialen als glas, spiegels, karton, klei en hout; hij speelt met kunst en kitsch, met waarheid en leugen, met vorm en tegenvorm, met grensoverschrijdingen en grenzen. In Atlas off Balance ontstaat uit munten uit verschillende landen de schaduw van Atlas die de financiële wereld in balans hoopt te houden. Atlas heeft daar zo te zien daar wat moeite mee. In Shattered wordt uit een gebroken exclusief servies de schaduw van een bedelaar zichtbaar. Het verwijst naar een bankier die tijdens de crisis zijn huisraad moest verkopen, hij hield slechts een duur servies over. Met het gebroken servies trekt hij aandacht, teneinde passanten te bewegen wat muntjes in zijn schoteltje te werpen.

De Pièce de Résistance is het beeld "Shadow Dancing": een draaiend sculptuur, die een verrassende schaduw weergeeft van een icoon in de muziekwereld. Deze sculptuur maakt gebruik van het door Wiegman beproefd recept: de onverwachte schaduw van een op het oog abstract object. Slechts op één bepaald moment in de rondgang is overduidelijk een dansende Michael Jackson te zien. Wiegman maakte dit werk toen Jackson nog leefde en plannen maakte voor zijn 'This is it' tour. Shadow Dancing ziet Wiegman als een passend vervolg op Michelangelo’s David, omdat hij bij beide gebruik maakt van iconen; na de historische David een hedendaags icoon in de vorm van Michael Jackson. De schaduwbeelden zien eruit als stills uit een theatervoorstelling. Zij lijken toevallig te ontstaan door belichting van wegwerpproducten. Maar het toeval is geregisseerd. De objecten in de schijnwerper zijn zorgvuldig gemanipuleerd tot de gewenste schaduw is bereikt. Op de een of andere manier kijkt het kunstwerk terug op de geschiedenis van zijn eigen productieproces. Daarin is sprake van maatschappijkritiek, maar ook van ironie, humor en zelfspot. Wiegman exposeerde in 2015 in Boijmans van Beuningen en in 2017 in het Stedelijk Museum Schiedam en in Philadelphia. In 2016 exposeerde Wiegman tijdens de Holland Art Expo in Londen, georganiseerd door Art Gallery Voûte. In 2018 is het beeld Shadow Dancing een belangrijke primeur in de collectie van Art Gallery Voûte. Collecties: Boijmans van Beuningen, Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, Groninger Museum, Frans Hals Museum, Museum Voorlinden (Caldic Collectie), Ruine der Kuenste (Berlijn), musea in Hamburg, Oslo en Trondheim en vele privé collecties en bedrijfscollecties (onder andere Unilever, ABB en Ripley), onder andere in Europa en de Verenigde Staten.
