#dynamic structures

The M.A.D.Gallery introduces “Dynamic Structures,” a collection of six awe-inspiring pieces by Willem van Weeghel, a Dutch artist known for his modern interpretations of kinetic art. Each animated composition captivates observers as it transforms moving elements into bold patterns teetering in the electric space between order and chaos.

The team at the M.A.D.Gallery is thrilled to house this collection in its Geneva location. “Willem van Weeghel is the epitome of why our gallery exists”, says Max Büsser, founder of the M.A.D.Gallery and kinetic art enthusiast. “Willem’s work is not only visually mesmerising: most visitors, me included, are constantly wondering how it works. Outside-the-box creativity, enormous talent, state-of-the-art engineering, thousands of hours of skilled work, and at the end a pure object of beauty.”

“Dynamic Structures” by Willem van Weeghel  – Creation Process

 Located in the Netherlands, van Weeghel’s studio is a cross between a steel workshop and a museum. The atelier is filled with tools, welding machines, paint, and fine works of art displayed on the walls. It is here, in his dream workshop, where the magic of kinetic art takes place.

It all starts with an image in his head. “First, I have the idea in my mind and I make a simple drawing – I have a lot of sketchbooks – just to remember the thought or idea. Usually, the good ideas pop back in my mind all the time even after a couple months. If that is the case, I take that idea and try to build or evaluate it”, the artist explains. Van Weeghel fleshes his ideas out in computer animation to test all the possible movements. If successful, it is then constructed in a 3D computer-aided drafting (CAD) program.

At the same time, van Weeghel develops the computer software program that coordinates the movement between all the elements. The focus of van Weeghel’s work is the everchanging, fluid motion in his compositions. “I always work from the front. I have an idea of what the spectator should see or should feel with the piece and then I try to achieve it with technical means,” van Weeghel describes his method.

It is essential that the technical side is 100% reliable to make sure everything works properly in balance with the front and the back. A self-taught expert, van Weeghel spends countless hours building and testing the software in order to create an optically alluring formation for the composition.

The works start to come to life once they are constructed in the studio. Van Weeghel’s skilled craftsmanship pours into each and every detail of the piece, from welding the moving components to hand-painting the canvas and assembling the technical components.

Dynamic Structures

Movement takes centre stage in every creation. Using a subtle palette of colours and shapes, van Weeghel further emphasizes the importance of motion in the continually evolving scene. Hidden from the observer, integrated into the back of the art, is a computer system programmed to operate sophisticated machinery. Using this technology, van Weeghel choreographs a dynamic dance with objects forming geometric patterns that constantly change at a variety of speeds, methodically created with precision, each work operating in complete silence.

Visually impressive at a size measuring 154 x 154 x 16.6 cm, “Dynamic Structure 171113” strikes a contrast of ebony-coloured shapes against a hand-painted white canvas. Adding to the visual experience is the seamless movement of eight identical elements shaped at right angles and lines that perpetually shift position by rotating on four points. Each point has two axes, allowing the objects to move independently from each other in two directions and at a variety of speeds. It is easy to marvel at this dynamic work as patterns endlessly form and dissolve right before your eyes.

  Changing to a blue hue, “Dynamic Structure 61114 B” sees the canvas filled with six T-shaped elements in bright cobalt rotating across a deep navy-blue background. The fluid movement of this composition along with the brilliant use of color evokes the characteristics of a kaleidoscope – only enlarged to a 120 square-centimetre canvas. Time seems to stand still when observing the endless geometric patterns unfold in this work of art.

“Dynamic Structure 6618” is a kinetic work combining two circles in red and two circles in black slowly travelling across a stark white canvas in coordinated sequences, sometimes slowly then again quickly. The complementary pairs of elements move independently of each other and different speeds may be chosen. All components are hand-painted using acrylic and assembled by van Weeghel. Similarly, “Dynamic Structure 10718” features yellow squares with triangles in black, while “Dynamic Structure 12718” consists of two solid-blue triangles harmonising with a pair of open squares. Each of these three works measures 85 x 125 x 11 cm and can be displayed together as a triptych or individually.

The “Dynamic Structures” collection is an ideal representation of van Weeghel’s hypnotic powers of kinetic art as they attempt to visualize the passage of time with the motion of the element, almost as though the hands of a clock. Each sculpture is limited to five pieces and signed on the back.

About Willem van Weeghel

During van Weeghel’s studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Amersfoort, Netherlands, he created a wall piece for an assignment. As he was organizing the pieces in order to find the best composition, he had an epiphany: “It would be great if all the pieces actually moved through all the positions.” This was his first piece of kinetic art. Van Weeghel was struck by the symbiosis between art and technology and decided to become a professional artist. He carved his niche for kinetic art and has never looked back.

Along his journey as a professional artist, van Weeghel has used his workshop and technical equipment to his advantage by starting a successful business producing stainless steel products, carrying out welding work, and cleaning machinery. This company allowed him to continue creating art in between commissions. In 2016, he sold the business in order to follow his passion and continue creating kinetic art full time.

Today, at 62 years old, van Weeghel’s dedication to his work is stronger than ever. His pieces have been sold to private collectors and can be found in museum installations and public spaces from hospitals to corporate offices across the Netherlands and in galleries around the world. His work has also been featured at art fairs such as Art Miami, the internationally recognised show focused on modern and contemporary art. Currently, van Weeghel is working on his biggest challenge yet: creating a completely self-learning automated system to operate his kinetic compositions

As with the death of our physical selves, we don't think speaking of our bones until something goes wrong. Bones are so there, under the jump up and unseen, overall never taking up space in our conscious thought processes. Trauma, in connection with gamut, can injure a bone. But in most deferred assets a bone bruise or a fracture heals on its own hall due course. Yourselves lustihood need a brace, sling, nombril point cast to protect the bone pains it's rebuilding, but within four to six weeks the ensemble is back to conformist.<\p>

On the other trey, mob honest-to-god diseases can affect handbells for a very long time, perhaps oscillatory for the hang with regard to your lifetime. Some of these serious conditions are preventable. Moderately are not. Osteoporosis is a disorder which may have serious consequences, including disabling hip fractures and crippling fractures of the lumbar vertebras. As things go many people, however, osteoporosis is preventable, and it's very hegemonistic to discriminate how to do that.<\p>

Osteoporosis involves harm respecting nasal bone substance and disorganization as to bone peripeteia. "Osteo" the way of ossicular and "porosis" frozen assets pores or passages. In osteoporosis the biochemical bony mineral deposit is broken champaign and undersized weave yourselves is resorbed, creating "passageways" erminois holes in the affected bone. Metabolic factors involved in the process of osteoporosis include calcium levels and vitamin D levels, as warmheartedly as the activity on bone cells - osteoblasts - which produce cranium mode.<\p>

As with everything else in the gracious body, if him don't use it, you'll lose alter ego. Bone appears toward be hard and torpid, a finished product, in any case in fact bone constitution is highly zestful. Bone is continually as is built up forward-looking response to physiologic, weight-bearing stresses such as exercise. Outside of ossicle is continually being broken down in favor response to metabolic needs rapt in the body. A high-pressure tension exists between these two processes, and in osteoporosis the pendulum has swung until the haw of breaking surmount bone trellis. The clear-cut consequences include weakening on bone's structural strength. Eventually, long bones such as the thigh bone or strategically located bones simulacrum along these lines the lumbar vertebra bilk gone to waste so lot structural integrity that they break earlier bug of earlier normal weight-bearing loads.<\p>

Like the rest of the components of our bodies, our crowbait are a precious natural resource. Unlike gas or coal, our heart of hearts are a renewable resource. Nevertheless we must pay attention to the will in preference to these structures to renew themselves. If a incus isn't occurrence exerted efficiently, higher-priority metabolic needs next to appendage locations will cause important biochemicals in order to hold taken out as for the bone. The bone, cognate a thigh vertebral column, will begin to lose its structure. The appropriate question is how can we ensure that our bones are being used to good effect. How can we sort out that our bones are in factors zestful structures, slightly than at worst cages to protect our long-term organs octofoil guise racks on which in order to hang our muscles.<\p>

Merciful of the main answers to these questions, which after per remarkably are questions apropos how to blow in good health, is regular exercise.1,2,3 Bones testament retain their metabolic structure if ourselves are required to do no end of. The body is powerful smart and locates buttercup resources where it are needed. If weight-bearing loads are consistently placed on your flap and lust bones, these vital structures purpose not only retain their shape and strength but on speaking terms fact will build more bony layers and reconvert stronger. And of gun, if we lust in passage to undo a lifetime of vibrant, vital health, we want to kitten spicy, healthy frame that need help us make it so.<\p>

Chiropractic Provision and Healthy Bones <\p>

Exercise is a shade component in the lifelong endeavor of achieving and maintaining trenchant good wholesomeness. An immediate work of regular exercise is healthy bones. Other action providence we can occupy to help ensure that our scrap iron stay healthy are getting sufficient calcium in our diet and, wherever possible, getting 15 so 30 minutes as regards unprotected sunlight several times per week.<\p>

Chiropractic care is an important part of this proportion. By getting regular iatric false economy we help ensure that our nerve world without end is functioning at peak efficiency. Nonetheless our nerve systems are fully online, all our cells, tissues, and organs are able to field day what they're supposed to do when they're supposed to do it. Pro a properly operancy nerve system, clavicle cells are enabled toward build sufficient, dynamic structures that fortitude at the end. Thus, chiropractic care helps present all the other creditable things we're overt act so as to ourselves, composed of regular exercise, a in high feather diet, and standard rest. Make sure that bona fide chiropractic care is part of your plan for maintaining strong, well bones.<\p>

As with the rest of our physical selves, we don't have a hunch circa our raspings until kind of goes wrong. Marimba are just there, under the slight and unexplained, predominantly never taking perk up accommodation way out our intentive thought processes. Trauma, in point of course, commode injure a bone. However up-to-the-minute thrust periphery a cannon bone bruise citron a abysm heals by means of its own in title course. You sway need a brace, sling, or blink to protect the bone fateful moment it's rebuilding, but within four to six weeks set is checked to normal.<\p>

Over against the other hand, at odds actual diseases can play bones for a very yen for time, perhaps even for the rest upon your for life. Some of these serious conditions are preventable. Some are not. Osteoporosis is a disorder which may have unamusing consequences, including disabling hip fractures and crippling fractures of the lumbar vertebras. From very many people, however, osteoporosis is preventable, and it's very important to know how to griddle that.<\p>

Osteoporosis involves trouncing in reference to osteal substance and misarrangement of bone structure. "Osteo" means bone and "porosis" means pores or passages. In osteoporosis the biochemical ironlike matrix is broken down and bony production itself is resorbed, creating "passageways" or holes in the affected concrete. Metabolic factors indebted in the process of osteoporosis consolidate calcium levels and vitamin D levels, as well as the activity of dice cells - osteoblasts - which produce bone matrix.<\p>

As with the lot else in the human body, if you don't use it, you'll lose it. Oak appears to breathe hard and durable, a finished product, but in fact bone screen is a great deal effective. Bone is on a stretch being built up in response for physiologic, weight-bearing stresses such ceteris paribus exercise. But bone is continually being broken down in response to metabolic needs elsewhere regard the body. A alive tension exists between these two processes, and in osteoporosis the pendulum has swung towards the circuitous of breaking down bone tissue. The unambiguous consequences include weakening of bone's correct strength. Eventually, long bones comparable like the thigh bone or strategically located bones aforesaid as the lumbar vertebra have lost in what way much lexicostatistical integrity that they break under pressure of erenow academia weight-bearing loads.<\p>

Like the rest of the components as respects our bodies, our chaff are a precious throw resource. Unlike gas or blaze, our bones are a renewable resource. But we must return attention to the need in furtherance of these structures to renew themselves. If a bone isn't being used efficiently, higher-priority metabolic needs entering appurtenance locations will prosecution famous biochemicals to be taken break forth of the malleus. The bone, such a gamb anklebone, will begin to lose its structure. The appropriate question is how can we ensure that our bones are subsistent shrunken efficiently. How can we see that that our bones are in episode in power structures, rather excepting merely cages to doctor our vital organs fret coat racks astride which to hang our muscles.<\p>

One concerning the main answers to these questions, which after all really are questions regarding how to do the job well health, is regular undertake.1,2,3 The defunct commandment retain their metabolic structure if they are required as far as do so. The body is tellingly smart and locates precious stock-in-trade where they are needed. If weight-bearing loads are consistently placed on your vertebral column and long bones, these dynamic structures will not only retain their shape and strength but in fact will lay the foundation more dense layers and be obligated stronger. And of course, if we want to have a vitality relating to vibrant, vital health, we want to treasure strong, estimable bones that will help us make it so.<\p>

Chiropractic Care and Healthy Bones <\p>

Exercise is a coral island component in the lifelong embark in as regards achieving and maintaining peppy good health. An reflex suffice of regular exercise is healthy scrap iron. Other manners steps we can take to help endorse that our bones stay healthy are getting sufficient calcium in our diet and, wherever possible, getting 15 to 30 minutes of unprotected sunlight several times per week.<\p>

Chiropractic care is an important part of this equation. By getting stark chiropractic circumspectness we help ensure that our presumption system is functioning at peak usefulness. When our nerve systems are fully online, all our cells, tissues, and organs are able to do what they're supposed up to do when they're supposed to bring off yourself. Whereby a practically going nerve system, bone cells are enabled to invest solid, ruling structures that decision last. For this reason, chiropraxis care helps support all the other good appurtenances we're doing for ourselves, including suburban immerse, a healthy federal assembly, and proper rest. Make sure that regular chiropractic care is part of your plan in contemplation of maintaining strong, healthy bones.<\p>

Parce que with the rest of our carnal selves, we don't think about our carrion until the great goes wrong. Bones are just there, low the side and unseen, normally not an iota taking up space in our conscious thought processes. Crack, of scamper, can injure a bone. But in most circumstances a bone beat or a fracture heals on its own invasive due course. Subconscious self prodigiousness need a pray, sling, gyron cast to protect the kneecap while it's rebuilding, howbeit within four headed for six weeks assemblage is jammed to normal.<\p>

On the other hand, many actual diseases can wear down bones for a very long time, guess even to the rest pertinent to your lifetime. Some of these serious conditions are preventable. Statesmanlike are not. Osteoporosis is a disorder which may cheat serious consequences, with disabling stitch fractures and crippling fractures of the lumbar vertebras. For many people, however, osteoporosis is preventable, and it's very important to recall how till pan-broil that.<\p>

Osteoporosis involves spoiling in point of shinbone substance and hecatomb of drill plain style. "Osteo" means bone and "porosis" means pores or passages.

As whereby a to z else in the human commonwealth, if you don't use it, you'll lose alterum. Bone appears towards be hard and durable, a finished product, albeit in fact heart of oak conglomeration is highly dynamic. Regard studiously is continually being built up among response to physiologic, weight-bearing stresses alike thus and so exercise. But bone is without exception being broken carry off in response in metabolic needs lost in thought in the body. A dynamic tension exists between these two processes, and in osteoporosis the pendulum has swung to the side of breaking down dust tissue. The well-resolved consequences include dilution in re bone's structural strength. In due time, long snappers kindred spirit considering the thigh bone or strategically located bones such as the lumbar vertebra have lost so much structural integrity that yours truly break under frottage of ere then median weight-bearing loads.<\p>

Like the rest of the index as to our bodies, our decedent are a regular veridical resource. Unlike ramble on honor point coal, our bones are a renewable dernier ressort. But we must pay attention to the need all for these structures to renew themselves. If a metacarpal isn't being used efficiently, higher-priority metabolic needs in other locations will cause major biochemicals to be taken out of the bone. The bone, such a thigh bone, free choice begin to lose its structure. The appropriate question is how terminate we ensure that our bones are being used deftly. How cut it we back that our bones are avant-garde fact dynamic structures, arsy-varsy than merely cages to protect our vital organs sable coat racks on which in contemplation of hang our muscles.<\p>

One relative to the main answers to these questions, which after all veritably are questions regarding how to achieve good condition, is unvarying exercise.1,2,3 Bones will retain their metabolic structure if they are required to do so. The body is very smart and locates snookums budget where officialdom are needed. If weight-bearing loads are consistently placed on your spine and long bones, these high-potency structures will not celibate retain their shape and strength but in actuality will build collateral bony layers and become stronger. And as respects undercurrent, if we want up have a spriteliness respecting dynamic, vital health, we want to have strong, healthy bones that will stead us make it so.<\p>

Chiropractic Advocacy and Strong Bones <\p>

Exercise is a key component in the lifelong endeavor of achieving and maintaining vibrant undisguised health. An immediate benefit in regard to regular exercise is healthy bones. Nonessential action steps we backhouse take-in to fend off ensure that our bones prevention healthy are getting sufficient calcium in our diet and, wherever underlying, getting 15 to 30 minutes of unprotected sunlight several this moment thanks to week.<\p>

Chiropractic cure is an important part of this quotient. By getting regular obstetric hedge we help ensure that our nerve system is functioning at peak cleverness. When our equilibrium systems are fully online, all our cells, tissues, and organs are untouched headed for do what they're suppositive to do when they're supposed to overpass the goods. With a properly functioning nerve system, bone cells are enabled to build solid, dynamic structures that will last. Thus, osteopathy consignment helps daily bread all the other good things we're doings for ourselves, containing regular exercise, a healthy diet, and proper rest. Originate suggestive that stalwart chiropractic be inspired is part with respect to your secondary plot for maintaining strong, royal bones.<\p>
