Roxanne Dekker è una delle tante giovani e più o meno talentuose artiste dell'era 2.0.
Utilizza Tumblr e Blogspot per condividere le sue illustrazioni e ama i collage come fosse una bambina.
A differenza degli altri pseudo-creativi della sua generazione è finita su Elephant, patinato magazine d'arte contemporanea a tiratura limitata ed esclusiva, per aver partecipato al progetto Young Unknown Artist organizzato dall'Heineken.
Noi le abbiamo fatto qualche domanda per levarci un paio di curiosità.
Buona lettura.
1) Hi Roxanne, introduce yourself to our readers.
2) When did you start to realize your illustratons ?
3) Are there some contemporary artists you are particularly inspired by ?
Wow, I have a lot! I will tell you a couple: Jeff Koons, Carine brancowitz, Piet Paris, Hisham Akira Bharoocha, Piet Parra, WE MAKE CARPETS, Yago Hortal, Things Organized Neatly, Massimo Vitali, Yosigo, Viviane Sassen, Erik Sandberg .

4) The frames you gather for your collages seem to be done just for your works. How do you look for e how do you choose them ?
I collect a lot of old pictures and postcards, flyers, posters, all kinds of paper, pictures from newspapers and magazines. Of course I also find a lot on the internet and take my own picures.
5) Do you try to communicate deeper meanings or your compositions are simply the result of the moment's ispiration ?
Both. Most of my collages start with inspiration I get from a photo / picture; I want to chance it, make it ROX. But the final result is most of the time a mix between the emotions I have at that moment and the feeling the
picture gives me.
When I draw or paint this is a different story. Then my choice of color and material has a lot to do with the state I am in that moment. My work is never planned, it is almost always made with the naive rush that children have. I forget about time totally.
6) I noted you have a special relationship with Italy and aboveall with Naples. Tell us three things that hit you, but not three stereotypes.
7) Let's talk about the Heineken Project you partecipate in.
8) What's your project for the future ?
I also make a lot of 'free work', most of the the time collages made from newspaper photo's. Or I make new drawings in my TOEVALLIGE BOEK (www.roxbooks.tumblr.com).
Since a year now I'm also a children's book illustrator, this makes me
really happy. (www.kipwilgraagzijn.nl)
9) Say goodbye to our followers and recommend us a song.
Ok in Dutch: Nou, toedeloe, tot ziens en bedankt.
My new favourite song is a song from the movie 'The Future' by Miranda July: Master of None by Beach house.
