Bio:
"mississippi is a mess sometimes and not only when it rains"
Art has to comfort you, like a good friend will do in hard times. Youll have to be vulnerable, to accept this kind of comfort. My work is about this vulnerability, and about the comfort from which it grows.Amazement and wonder underlie most of my works. 'Wonder' directs us to the technical side of the sculptures while 'amazement' points to the twisted taste which growing from each sculpture. By using a simple and practical design for the works, I avoid an esthetical look. The sculptures are just what you see; birds on records, speakers under shoes, unfolded paper bags and wheels made of records. When you look closely and listen, the imagination is affected. Ríght now I'm woking mostly with sound. I want to enlarge in my installations and performances the effects of sound and what sound is. By using physical and scientific facts and twisting them, it enlarges the essence of my sculptures. It makes you reflect your own being. Besides amazement there also is moderation. You have to be strong these days, but most of all you have to be vulnerable.These sculptures are to find comfort in.
Jeroen Diepenmaat, b.05-25-1978 in Oldenzaal(Netherlands). He Lives and works in Deventer(Netherlands)and studied at the Art Academy in Arnhem(Netherlands).
