For artist David Bade this is the picture Anita his first work in public space. Normally he works with polystyrene foam and other perishable materials, but now he had to choose the more durable polyester. The right materials and their 'skin' were selected in close collaboration with the polyester company. This company also creates images for Walt Disney theme parks. At the factory they called the statue of Bade Horny Anita, so the artist decided to keep this name - in an edited version. Like his temporary structures, this image is wild, rough and disjointed. It is a rubbish bag with buckets sticking out and which is just as colorful as the skate park it was on (the floor painting of 75B was removed in 2015 due to the arrival of the new skate park Westblaak). The artwork is just as dynamic as the traffic that rushes around it. After this one Anita Bade would work more often in public spaces, including for the Kunstmuseum (KM21) in The Hague. For more information: Sculpture International Rotterdam.
David Bade (Willemstad, Curaçao, 1970) lives and works partly in the Netherlands and in Curaçao. He studied drawing and crafts as a teacher in Diemen and subsequently studied art at the Ateliers '63 in Haarlem. He draws and makes three-dimensional work, often assemblages, in which he incorporates newspapers and other found objects and unusual materials with polyurethane foam. Adding material is important in his art. His work provides a comical and critical commentary on society, or on developments in that society. In 1993 he won the Prix de Rome and in 2010 the Sikkens Prize. In 2006 he founded the Instituto Buena Bista (IBB) on Curaçao together with artist Tirzo Martha and art historian Nancy Hoffmann. His work is shown in various museums
