Wimvandewege

Wim Van De Wege is a contemporary Dutch landscape painter known for his impressionistic and sometimes abstract “action painting” style. Born in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen in 1966, he is recognized for creating paintings that offer viewers a captivating and enigmatic landscape experience through a blend of various techniques and materials. The atmosphere within his work is a crucial element, and van de Wege aims to communicate his artistic message by evoking a strong sense of place and emotion in the viewer.

His approach to painting is spontaneous, often involving direct application of colors and shapes onto the canvas. During plein air painting workshops he leads, students frequently note his swift and precise technique, which contributes to the lively and spontaneous quality of his artwork, sometimes characterized by thick layers of paint and a rough texture.

After completing his conservatory diploma, he studied at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, where he engaged deeply with modern art. This exposure influenced his unique and sometimes innovative artistic approach, often challenging traditional values and presenting a creative and visual manifesto. Despite his modern art influences, he has always been drawn to the beauty and allure of nature, preferring the freedom of plein air painting over studio work. His landscapes frequently feature expansive skies, which he uses to highlight the dynamic and ever-changing cloudscapes.

In addition to his painting career, Wim Van De Wege has spent many years teaching visual design at the secondary school level. He now works full-time as an artist in his studio in Bunschoten-Spakenburg, frequently painting outdoors to capture the elements of water, wind, and air in various weather conditions.

He has exhibited extensively across the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, England, and the USA, with his works held in numerous private and public collections in over 40 countries.
