About this artwork
In "Sweltering Sun," a mixed media painting by DB Waterman, the canvas bursts with vibrant hues of yellow, green, lemon yellow, light blue, black, sienna and rust, which come together to depict the pressing issue of climate change and its impact on cities. This large square depicts the scorching heat waves that have become an all too familiar consequence of global warming. Amid the relentless heat, the painting depicts a poignant scene of children…
seeking cooling in the coolness of city fountains.
A group of children, rendered in dark silhouettes, run, laugh and play around a city fountain. Their carefree spirit creates a powerful juxtaposition of innocence against the harsh reality of climate change.
The fountain, symbolizes an urban oasis - a small refuge where the young people find solace against the scorching temperatures. The water evokes a sense of relief. The children and the dynamic water play convey the essence of youthful joy in its simplest form.

« "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.
