Art-Deco-ish This graphite pencil drawing Darja Collin – 20-09-22 follows Art Deco Nude – 16-09-22 . Still Deco-ish but I decided to grant her a series of her own. Years ago Hans, a student of mine, showed me her picture. It was an unbelievable photo of her in a smashing overstretched position, leaning backwards. It was the incentive to do a first drawing that became Roundism – 10-09-14 . It was followed by Sans Titre – 05-05-17 a couple years later. This one I rendered rather cubistic in order to have it match the Art Deco Nude series. Besides that, the previous two drawing of her I already did roundistically. Incredible Life Story Darja never left my mind ever since and finally I got to read her life story . An incredible tale I must say. She was a ballet dancer and married to Jan Slauerhoff , if only for 5 tumultous years. Modern for her time she also was know to be the first celebrity with star airs. So there she is, an incredible woman of prickly character but also an eye-charmer, in and out of relationships. Then Europe found itself on the eve of World War II and she was on tour at the Côte d’Azur. She managed to escape through Africa to the Dutch East-Indies. She also escaped Japanese concentration camp by fleeing on a boat to Australia in 142 where she performed for the troops. A story to make a movie of, I think. Natural Phenomenon One of her lovers, poet A. Den Doolaard, described as an elusive natural phenomenon that can’t be grasped like water. Not for me though. I got hold of her resemblance quite easy. Maybe because I was motivated to capture her beauty and her star airs allowed me to do. On the reference picture there was an unattractive white negative space to the left. I decided to make that one dark too, forcing the viewer to focus only on her side view. Pitt Graphite Matt pencil (Faber-Castell) drawing on Hahnenmühle paper (24 x 31 x 0.1 cm) Artist: Corné AkkersMy work can be seen in many countries all over the world. I employ a variety of styles that all have one thing in common: the ever search for the light on phenomena and all the shadows and light planes they block in. My favorites in doing so are oil paint, dry pastel and graphite pencil. It is not the form or the theme that counts but the way planes of certain tonal quality vary and block in the lights. Colours are relatively unimportant and can take on whatever scheme. It is the tonal quality that is ever present in my work, creating the illusion of depth and mass on a flat 2d-plane. I combine figurative work with the search for abstraction because neither in extremo can provide the desired art statement the public expects from an artist. Besides all that, exaggeration and deviation is the standard and results in a typical use of a strong colour scheme and a hugh tonal bandwith, in order to create art that, when the canvas or paper would be torn into pieces, in essence still would be recognizable.
I teach art (drawing / painting) at Voorburg, Netherlands where I have my second studio next to my first at The Hague, Netherlands, where I live.
