Henk Wijnen and Wim van Sijl have their own artistic practice in which they work with multiple collaborations over many years.
Wijnen and Van Sijl’s have often worked together and exchanged ideas and assisted one another, for example in international group exhibitions.
Their first artistic collaboration as a duo took place in 1982.
From 1995 to 2005 they formed a three-man collaboration with Willem G.Wevers under the name de3Heren.
The initial idea of working on a Schutterstuk (Militia piece) arose in 2000 when they sought to create a 17th century ambiance for a photographic group portrait for their work Fijne Configuraties (Fine Configurations).
