About this artwork
A child makes a graffiti painting with 'peace signs' on the wall. Because there is a lot of unrest and wars in the world, it wants to show that there should be peace.
The symbol designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement in 1958 is now commonly known as the "peace symbol".
A number of peace symbols have been used in many ways in different cultures and contexts. In the 1950s, the "peace sign", as it is known today (also known as "peace… and love"), was designed by Gerald Holtom as a logo for the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), a group at the forefront of the peace movement in the UK, and adopted by anti-war and counterculture activists in the US and elsewhere. The symbol is a superposition of the semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D", which stand for "nuclear disarmament"
Disarmament and non-proliferation treaties were created because of the extreme danger inherent in nuclear war and the possession of nuclear weapons.

« "My tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible, creating dreamlike and melancholic images." »
DB Waterman is a painter and photographer who hails from the Netherlands, with work exhibited in the United States, Europe and New Zealand. Her creative goal is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation” through the mediums of paint, photography and collage. She uses original photographs, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink and pencils in her works. Having always loved the appearance of peeling paint, weathered walls and old posters, she revives this aesthetic in her pieces.
