Jan Robert Leegte

Jan Robert Leegte is a Dutch artist living in Amsterdam who has been creating Internet art since the 1990s. He is known for exploring the sculptural materiality of online interfaces and computer programs to create artworks around digital aesthetic themes. In 2002, Leegte began implementing digital materials in the context of physical gallery spaces to bridge the online and gallery art worlds, creating prints, sculptures, installations, drawings and projections. Leegte links traditional historical art events and ideas into the “digital avant garde” world. His work has been exhibited at internationally renowned institutions like the Centre Pompidou, Ludwig Museum, Whitechapel Gallery, Kröller-Müller, and Stedelijk Museum. He is currently represented by Upstream Gallery Amsterdam.
