A New Experiment An experiment in my roundism style on how to open up forms as much as possible. In the first place I wanted to have the positive form of the model 'breathe'. Technically spoken, I wanted to have that positive form communicate with the negative space around it as much as possible. On the merits of this process of opening up I would like to refer to another drawing. The description of my graphite pencil drawing ‘ Roundism – 05-02-16 (sold) ’ already explains a lot. Abstracting More Futhermore, after my previous colored pencil drawing ‘ Roundism – 20-11-16 ’ abstracting body forms even further seemed logical. Consequently this time I skipped facial recognition, fingers and toes as well. The goal was to depict only the body position in general. People will recognize it anyway and fill in the gaps. Surely by slanted positions of especially the arms and legs the body is plain to see for everyone. Next to this, the diagonals and curves in the composition induce a feel of dynamics in a nude at ease. I love those counterbalances, wheter executed through tonal, color or form contrasts. The Color Purple Contrary to the aforementioned previous colored pencil drawing I used only one color next to graphite greys and blacks. My initial plan was to use more but I did not feel it was necessary to do more. It only would lead to unnecessary confusion, since I bestowed the spectator with the responsability to primarily interpret the nude. The color purple gives it a rather mystical appearance. Don’t you think it suits the spectator’s searching mind for logic within this myriad of broken-up forms quite nicely? Graphite pencil drawing (Pentel 0.5 mm, 3B & Coloursoft pencils) on Canson Bristol paper (21 x 29.7 x 0.01 cm) - A4 format) 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.
