Leo Vroegindeweij (1955, NL) is renowned as one of the most innovative contemporary artists, operating at the intersection of formal and conceptual vocabulary. Concepts such as uncontrolled circumstances; time and space; and a masterful interpretation of the notions of scale and dimension have become Vroegindeweij’s natural tools throughout his 45 years as a sculptor.
The works of Vroegindeweij grace numerous museum collections and exhibitions. In 2015, the Kröller-Müller Museum added his monumental work from 1992 to its sculpture park. His Apollolaan installation was recognized as a crucial contribution to the Amsterdam Sculpture Biennial ARTZUID 2017, curated by Rudi Fuchs, former director of the Stedelijk Museum. Vroegindeweij, recipient of the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1985, was affiliated with the prominent avant-garde gallery Art & Project, 1968-2001, and has since played a prominent role in group and institutional retrospectives of Dutch art. Vroegindeweij resides and works in Amsterdam and Méligny-le-Grand, FR.
