Piece description from the artist
The latest "SWING" artwork by db Waterman is PURPLE SWING. A girl on the swing in a spring landscape with purple and yellow flowers.
Like all other artworks, it is a Mixed Media / Collage painting, constructed with layers of paper mixed with acrylic paint.
According to db Waterman, the recurring themes in her portfolio are now more relevant than ever. db Waterman's art depicts the current state of the world and how our children grow up in an often unfair and deteriorating environment. Yet it is precisely the ability of children to transcend difficult situations and find joy and light in the darkest of environments that provides much-needed hope for the future.
Technique: Collage, Acrylic on canvas, textured
Theme: Flowers / People /Landscape /Typography/Swing
I assemble original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink, and pencil in my works. The variety of resources I am able to use has proved indispensable to me. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially watercolors, was a large victory for me. The preparing labor shows through in my collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces. I believe my body of work is characterized by my skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, I revive this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of my work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.” My tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
