These Diet Wiegman sculptures have managed through their contours to depict precise shadows. Showcased within these shadows are detailed images of Michael Jackson, gun-totting cowboys, chairs and the globe.
Matched with Wiegman's remarkable talent is his penchant for diversity. While he does play with shadows in his many pieces, he does so in a way that focuses on variety via his focus on dollar signs, naked male figures and trophies. He has in this way entertained his fans who cannot place too much expectation upon the creative artist. This feature is furthered by his use of gilded surfaces which reflect the same sculptures in bright and shining manners that could not be teased out with lamps.
