Wieteke Heldens
“Painting is my primary medium, though in practice, I am a conceptual artist. I use abstract visual forms and processes to explore systems of meaning and states of mattering.
I combine the concept and rule of the algorithm and execute it through forms and compositions that are organic, self generating, and have the unmistakable mark of the human hand. By creating conceptual order and structure within my works, I also create conditions for closure and completion. Each work creates and fulfills its own conditions; both my materials and I fulfill our designated roles in a calculated symbiosis.”
Wieteke Heldens graduated from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, in 2007. Heldens’ work has been shown internationally, including the Kunstmuseum Den Haag in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Denmark, South Korea, Japan, and the United States. She has also worked as an artist-in-residence in Chongqing, China and Turin, Italy. In 2013 Heldens won the Royal Award for Modern Painting in the Netherlands. She is a recipient of a Stipendium for Established Artists of the Mondriaan Fund.
