Dim Rooker - Mixed Media Collages
Dim Rooker, born in 1972 in The Netherlands, creates mixed media collages that reflect the space and atmosphere of his hometown, Scheveningen. His raw graphical compositions, crafted from washed-up items collected along the shoreline, infuse his work with a profound sense of new adventures, evoking the exploration of coastlines and the sea.
"Especially the washed-up items that show signs of having taken a long journey at sea, worn, rounded, and discolored - capture my imagination."
The vast sea, connected to the entire world, is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Dim. “While surfing, I naturally enjoy the waves, but just as much, I relish the sight of a seagull flying overhead, a seal surfacing, a jellyfish shimmering in the water, the colors of the sky, and gazing at the horizon.” Dim’s immersive experiences with these natural elements are reflected in his artworks.
Each work starts with a horizon and from there, compositions and the notion of depth are created with layers of different materials, such as paint, fragments of photographs, nautical maps, rope, and other washed-up items from the shoreline. Contrary to the structured creation process in his applied graphic design work, each of his artworks results from a series of impulsive choices. In this playful process, there is no preconceived idea or visual outcome in mind. "I like to just set myself free and let it flow. This makes it exciting for me to work on. This way, I never know how it will turn out."
