A girl entertains herself on a swing against the background of the demolition of old factory buildings. An industrial city where old dilapidated buildings are being demolished to make way for modern industry, the Philips buildings in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. My birth and place of residence.
My Wasteland is one of the many 'swing' artworks that I have made. It depicts the freedom you feel as a child. At the same time it shows how locked up the children live today. Inside, behind their laptops and smartphones.
I made the original artwork with collage, acrylic paint, spray paint and oil pastel chalk.
You can do all information about the hanging systems here Read quietly. If you choose Alu-Dibond or Plexiglas, your painting up to and including a size of 70 x 100 cm will be supplied with a self-adhesive suspension plate. From 80 x 120 cm and larger with a blind suspension system.
To ensure that your poster has a luxurious look that shines on the wall, the choice of the type of paper is important. The posters are printed on 270 gram matte photo paper. The posters are laminated single-sided matt for optimal protection against moisture and UV light.
The textile cloth is made from Dekostof. The material is characterized by strong colors, a matte appearance and is ideally suited for indoor applications. The flexible polyester cloth has a fine structure and absorbs light instead of reflecting it. This way the print is always visible.
Tired of the print? No problem! You can easily change the cloth.
The canvas is stretched on a sturdy wooden frame with stretcher slats. The wooden frame is 18 millimeters thick and comes standard with a free hanging set. The sturdy wooden frame is so light that you only need one or two screws or nails to hang it on the wall.
Alu-dibond plates are 3mm thick, sturdy but light and easy to hang. The top layer on which aluminum dibond is printed is white.
The plexiglass plates are finished with a black blockout foil, on which the print is placed, so you cannot see through it. The plates are 5mm thick. The plexiglass plates are dimensionally stable, durable and have a beautiful shine and reflection that gives the design a fantastic effect.
With acoustic panels, the printed fabric is glued with acoustic material. This whole is housed in a unique anodized black aluminum frame of 3cm thick. You will receive a complete set that you no longer have to assemble yourself.
You will get the most optimal result if you hang the whole thing on walls using a mounting plate. Acoustic panels hang 2 cm from the surface and this provides extra damping thanks to an air cavity.
The material consists of a wrinkle-free polyester cloth. Thanks to the high-quality print quality, the colors look beautiful on this flexible material. The textile posters include beech wood sticks. These are attached both at the top and bottom of a tunnel. The tunnel is finished with a stitching seam of white thread. The flat tunnel size of the Textile Poster is 4 cm.
In my original artworks I weave my photography, different paper types and the wealth of acrylic paints and ink with the expressive lines of Pastelkrijt and pencil. This diverse palette enables me to bring my vision to life, with each work a unique exploration of texture and shape.
The mixed media/collages reveal the careful process that is below the surface. Each layer, carefully chosen and carefully placed, is an integral part of the final work of art, proof of the dedication and careful preparation that has been put into each work.
My artistic passion lies in the power of reinventing, in the ability to find unexpected beauty in the world around me.
