His artistic influences date back to his father and grandfather, who were also artists, which led him to attend the Rotterdam Academy of Art. Since graduating in 1965, Wiegman created works in multiple disciplines including ceramics and painting, however he is mainly known for his breakthrough in Shadow Art. Wiegman took Shadow Art to an entirely different level by creating sculptures out of waste and illuminating them against the wall to create a highly intricate shadow. He later integrated glass and mirror reflections into his sculptures to elevate their shadow effect. His work is mainly focused on taking abstract sculptures and utilizing light to produce a detailed shadow image. <br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"641\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/David-After-Dinner-\u00a9Diet-Wiegman-1983-641x1024-641x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/David-After-Dinner-\u00a9Diet-Wiegman-1983-641x1024.jpg 641w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/David-After-Dinner-\u00a9Diet-Wiegman-1983-641x1024-501x800.jpg 501w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/David-After-Dinner-\u00a9Diet-Wiegman-1983-641x1024-188x300.jpg 188w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 641px) 100vw, 641px\" \/><figcaption> <br><strong>Composed of various kitchen utensils and other random objects, this completely abstract sculpture is illuminated to mimic Michelangelo&#8217;s David. <\/strong><br> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"721\" height=\"541\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/off-balance.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/off-balance.jpg 721w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/off-balance-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 721px) 100vw, 721px\" \/><figcaption> <br><strong>Composed entirely of coins and melted metal, and covered with a gold finish. <\/strong><br> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"464\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/turning-plant.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/turning-plant.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/turning-plant-323x300.jpg 323w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption> <br><strong>Here, Wiegman takes a wilted plant and rearranges its branches and leaves so its shadow forms a portrait up against the wall. <\/strong> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r2M3RDdKVl0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption> <br><strong>Sculpted in 2008, this is one of Wiegman\u2019s most famous creations.
