About The Artwork
From the 'Et moi, et moi, et moi' art exhibition where three female artists present their personal mythologies, trying to find the key to their true essence through their works. My story is about my family and roots in Rotterdam. 'Rotterdam et moi 1' is a mixed media composition on canvas; transfer collage finished with paper collage, oil paint, pastels and felt tip pen. The composition features two illustrations that are torn in two parts, the edges ragged. The top image represents the top half of the statue by Ossip Zadkine, 'The Destroyed City'. The Destroyed City is a bronze memorial sculpture in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. It commemorates the German bombing of Rotterdam on 14 May 1940, which destroyed the medieval centre of the city. The bottom half represents a child running in the fields. Both figures contribute to the dynamic and mouvement of this work. The figurative approach juxtaposes reality with fantasy, capturing a moment of blissful release, defiance of gravity. It's an invitation to viewers to grasp the unexpected, challenging the conventions of form and space.

France
Born in Rotterdam in 1962, Marian Williams lives and works in France. Whilst recycling objects, authentic photos and original illustrations from vintage magazines and books, she creates dynamic, striking analog compositions in paint, collage and assemblage. Her work has been on show in France, England, Italy, Albania, the Netherlands, Serbia and in the USA. The works, influenced by pop art, surrealism and dadaism, show originality and freshness, in which classical art, retro chic, and kitsch are combined in a challenging way. The artist's political engagement for the environment, women's rights, freedom and social justice, are recurring themes. Her story telling is sincere, expressed in various ways, sometimes minimalist, sometimes complex. 'When I was five years old I jumped in a bin at school to save schoolbooks from the 1950's which had been thrown away. Everything about these book was precious to me; the images, the letter type, the torn pages, the colours and the memories. They reflected the history of daily life gone by. They were art to me."
