Wim van Oostrom (Huissen, recently deceased, was born November 20, 1933) and is a Dutch painter and sculptor. In 1965, Van Oostrom founded Group 130 together with the Enschede artists Jan Bolink, Jan Dibbets and Wim Kamphuis. The partnership was set up out of dissatisfaction with the art policy at the time, which offered insufficient opportunities to work and exhibit. The aim was also to support each other and to gain more recognition for everyone's work. Van Oostrom experimented extensively with different materials. Reviewer Hans Hesse also notes this in Dagblad Tubantia (1977). Hesse finds it striking that technical perfection and uninhibited imagination are alternately expressed in different materials and techniques.
