Hab van den Wijngaard lädt uns zur Entdeckung seiner fantastischen Welten ein. Ob 2-dimensional in der Malerei oder 3 -dimensional in der Herstellung von Masken, der Künstler setzt eine Objekte aus einer Vierzahl kleinster und grössere Elemente zusammen und schafft vielfältige Formen und Zusammenhänge. Er arbeitet nach einem psychologische Prinzip, thematisch nicht in die Tiefe zu gehen, sondern Geist auf der Oberfläche zu erweitern. Sein Humor und die skurrile, verspielte Qualität seines Linienstils erinnern an die Zeichungen von Paul Klee, einer seiner Vorbilder. Jedes Jahr arbeite Hab in einem Studio eines befreundeten amerikanischen Künstlers und Psychiaters auf Long Island in den USA. Diese Zusammenarbeit prägt seine Kunst sehr, viele Ausstellungen hat Hab in New York. Aber auch in Japan, Paris und Kopenhagen zeigte er seine Kunst, in Kopenhagen gewann er kürzlich einen Preis.
