"CHECK OUT MY MATE" is a mixed media street art piece on paper, unfolding a story within the urban landscape.

In the foreground of the composition is a mysterious girl dressed in black, embodying the essence of urban rebellion. Holding a skipping rope, she performs a playful and rhythmic dance, making lively movements on the cold concrete tiles beneath her feet. The ground, which resembles a chessboard, symbolises the strategic dance of life in the city - a constant game of moves and countermoves.

As the late evening sun bathes the scene in warm hues, the juxtaposition of light and shadow enhances the dramatic atmosphere. The graffiti-laden city serves as both canvas and backdrop, illustrating the vibrant spirit of self-expression that thrives in its alleys and corners. The walls tell a story of pride and creativity, reflecting the girl's rebellious spirit.

"CHECK OUT MY MATE" invites viewers to reflect on the intersection of individuality and urban grit. The artwork captures the fleeting moments of joy and freedom amid the constraints of a dark, gloomy metropolis and celebrates the resilience and creativity that blossom in unexpected corners of the city's concrete jungle.

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.
