Leo Vroegindeweij

Leo Vroegindeweij (Dirksland, 1955) came to prominence with a series of sculptures from folded sheets of lead and brass. The sheets are cut from the same floor piece and are mutually complementary, like a yin and yang symbol. Besides these purely hand-moulded sculptures, he also cast forms in cement or concrete and combined these with soft materials such as lead, copper and aluminium. Or with wax, whereby the sculptures acquire an element of vulnerability in addition to a certain ruggedness.
