Hidde van Wee

Hidde van Wee is a contemporary artist known for his multidisciplinary approach, seamlessly blending painting, sculpture, video, and installation to explore themes of human perception, memory, and collective experience. Born in the Netherlands, van Wee’s early exposure to both urban and rural landscapes profoundly influenced his visual language, which navigates the tensions between natural forms and constructed environments. After studying at leading European art academies, his work began attracting international attention, earning exhibitions across major galleries in Europe and North America.

Driven by a fascination with materiality and process, van Wee often repurposes found objects, digital artifacts, and everyday materials, infusing his pieces with a sense of familiarity and estrangement. His practice is deeply rooted in research, incorporating philosophical and scientific discourse to pose critical questions about technology, identity, and the boundaries of art. Through immersive installations and evocative compositions, Hidde van Wee invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with their surroundings, making him a distinctive and thought-provoking voice in the contemporary art world.
