​
Bas Wiegmink paints with many contrasts in an exuberant, romantic color palette, sometimes even fluorescent. His cinematic and free manner of painting makes viewing permanently interesting. In his earlier work, trees and plants grow wildly between buildings. Exuberant flora has taken up all the space there with sometimes remnants of human life still remaining.

In Wiegmink's new paintings, the flora remains present in powerful, convincing strokes and intense colors, but nature undergoes an apparent ordering. It now floats, as it were caught in an all-embracing grid, in all kinds of changing structures of infinity. Like an escapist, he explores the form in order to constantly renew himself, a contrast that betrays the ambiguity of reality.
