Dick van Wijk 1943 The Netherlands insta: ateliervanwijk The sculptor Dick van Wijk i a professional sculptor. He works in Roermond, situated 50 km north of Maastricht. The old chapel, in which Dick van Wijk has his atelier, was formerly the atelier of the world famous Stained Glass painter Joep Nicolas. Now Dick van Wijk claims his place among the famous artists on the field of three-dimensional art. His work expresses a never-ending research on the subject of combining geometrical and organic forms. A repeating element in the objects of Dick van Wijk is the human body, the base of his concept. The circle-shape is the symbol of consistency and newborn life. These "attributes", together with several animal shapes, gave the sculptor Dick van Wijk a broad range to work with. The materialisation of the search can be visualised in bronze, steel, marble and glass. Thereby represents the merger of the different materials a kind of irony and dynamics. The works of Dick van Wijk can be found throughout in city,s and places in the southern part of The Netherlands. Not only museums but also governmental assignments of enormous proportions have seen the light of day. Significant work in assignment by the government, architects and others. 1990 'National Indies Monument 1945-1962' Realisation and design: Wynand Thönissen en Dick van Wijk Location: Hattemer Park, Roermond 1996 ' Plaques Earthquake 1992' Realisation and design: Dick van Wijk Location: Centrum Roermond 1997 'Mens & Waarneming- beeldengroep' Realisation and design: Dick van Wijk Location: Henzo BV, Photo-albums 2000 'Earthquake monument 1992' Realisation and design: Dick van Wijk Location: Herkenosch 2003 'Zonnewind' Realisation and design: Dick van Wijk Location: Nautical Museum, Amsterdam 2003 'Vredewachters' voor de VN.
