SUMMER GIRL by db Waterman
Art code:
1 001 317 Copy the art code
A Mixed Media artwork on paper, made with collage of magazine paper combined with acrylic paint.
Arranged on top of each other in such a way that a deeply layered whole is created. The background consists of 4 to 5 layers. Many small details, such as small letters, can be discovered and become clearly visible when printed in large format.
The inspiration for this work of art is of course the coming summer season, but also the memory of the beautiful holidays with the three children of db Waterman. Summer holidays with lots of sun, sea and swimming pools.
The inspiration for this technique are the torn posters and peeling paint on old city walls. For many people a sign of neglect and decay, but for db Waterman a source of inspiration.

I remembered that as a young girl I so much liked to cut images from magazines to paste them into school agendas, scrapbooks and even on my bedroom door. Add to this the fascination I always had for walls filled with old posters, flaking paint, scrappy billboards and weathered paint, it opened an unexpected door for completely new opportunities. Completely unintended I found a new way of working, I felt pleasurably and comfortably at home in. What started out as copying old walls with worn out posters has grown into many series of new visual storytelling. Not simply just eclecticism, but bringing together many seemingly incoherent story lines into one completely new story, my own personal story. Initially it lacked the one thing that is important to me, the transparency that normally only is possible with the use of watercolor. The unforgiving layering of transparent watercolors is a challenge I would not want to miss and after a lot of trial and error I finally succeeded in getting the collages as transparent as a watercolor. Every layer of paper, oil, acrylic, pencil, crayon, ballpoint, watercolor, ink, charcoal and whatever else I use, remains visible in the artwork. You can imagine it made me feel the queen of the ball !
