Paul van der Eerden (1954) and Romy Muijrers (1990) started their collaborative project SUITE in 2018, for which they produce collective drawings. One starts by making a first sketch or staining the paper, after which the other elaborates upon during several sessions until the drawing is completed. While Van der Eerden mainly works with strong, clear lines and contrasts, Muijrers’ approach is more detailed and softer by nature.
In the series they refer to other artists and use texts from literature and poetry as well as from popular culture such as lines from pop songs.
In this work, fragments from Cindy Lauper's 'Time after Time' appear as speech bubbles between the stylized human figures that interlock like puzzle pieces.
