Silkcolor is the name the artist Will Kellermann from Holland has given to her paintings on silk as a canvas.
Like many artists before her, she was “begeistert” the moment she discovered the magic of silk. This was on a trip to Tunesia in 1986. At that time she was mainly known as painter of water-colours (aquarelle techniques). The transition to painting on silk was not too difficult for her, using similar techniques. Like water-colours on (cotton)paper, the silkcolor paint is flowing into the material through the capillary transport in the fibres. The beauty of the silk is in the fibres having a prismatic shape, creating the distinctive brilliance in light and colour.
History of silk painting
Painting on silk is as old as maybe the art of painting. We can read about it for instance in the famous book of Zhang Yanyuan “Famous artists from successive dynasties”, written in 847. Above this, silk is the most noble fabric from nature, so one shouldn’t be surprised that artists from all times loved to use this costly material, which is - like gold - still measured in grams. In Europe painting on silk became known when merchants opened the so called Silk Route or Silk Road. Silk became popular with the impressionists, although the real breakthrough came in the period of Jugenstil and Art Nouveau. During the World Exhibition of 1862 in London, Japanese artists surprised Europe with their silk art and from that moment on silk was setting the tone. The young Arthur Lasenby Liberty started his - still famous - store, only selling silk designs called “art silks”. In the change of centuries Paris was the heart of art, painters from all over Europe and America discovered the art of silk, their designs and paintings inspired fashion and great names of the time were Gustav Klimt, Paul Poiret, Raoul Dufy and the Venetian Mariano Fortuny who was the revelation of the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in 1925. Also we shouldn’t forget Sonia Delaunay who researched print- and paint-techniques on silk.

U-Jam was a moniker that was used by Pearl Jam, Bono and The Edge when they played at the Make Poverty History Concert in Melbourne, Australia on November 17, 2006.
The group performed "Rockin' in the Free World", by Neil Young and helped deliver a powerful message. They kicked off the evening, with Bono declaring, "Politicians have to do what you tell them to do!". They were introduced by Dave Hughes, and Bono said during their performance "Pearl Jam.... U2.... We offer you: U-Jam". They were followed by Eskimo Joe.
U2 and Pearl Jam also joined in performance of "Rockin' in the Free World" on December 9th 2006 at the Aloha Stadium in Hawaii at the finale show of U2's Vertigo Tour where Pearl Jam played as one of the support acts at that show.
