LATE AFTERNOON is a mixed media collage painting that captures the essence of a Dutch winter snow and ice landscape. Bathed in the warm, golden hues of the late yellow afternoon sun, this artwork transports viewers to a serene and picturesque setting.

The painting depicts a scene that has long been part of Dutch culture and heritage: a group of people gliding gracefully across the ice, their movements creating elegant patterns as they skate towards the distant horizon. The simplicity and serenity of the scene evokes a sense of nostalgia and a longing for a slower, more idyllic time.

Behind this serene beauty, however, lies a poignant message about the effects of climate change. As the artists depict this traditional Dutch pastime, they subtly remind us that scenes like this are becoming increasingly rare due to the changing climate. With rising temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns, the once deep freezes that made this cherished winter activity possible are becoming increasingly scarce.

db Waterman is a contemporary Dutch artist. In her works she assembles original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink, and pencil. The variety of resources she is able to use has proved indispensable to her. 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 the artist. The preparing labor shows through in her collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces. 

db Waterman believes that the body of her work is characterized by her skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, she revived this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of her work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.” Her tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
