First Roundism of This Year This graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 20-01-23’ is the first one of its kind this year. After ‘ Venus Lamenting – 13-01-23 ’ I wanted to do a similar one. However, it turned out to become something completely different. I thought I’d exploit a good idea further. That was to include a frame inside a drawing. As is the case in many other works I soon realized I wasn’t keen on repeating myself that quickly. It felt almost like pulling a cheap trick whereas the idea itself I found to be original. Maybe later. There were other reasons too though. Squarish Position Last Thursday I had my regular model come over to pose for me. I had prepared a story book of poses I would like her to strike. One of them was inspired by a pose Madonna once struck for a cover photo. There she kept her arms and body in a squarish position and I found that simply fascinating. It was unlike the pose for Roundism 26-11-21 but something similar. In fact I used it once or at least something alike, like Yeast – 18-09-19 . When I come to think of it, it might my regular model’s idea in the first place. Anyway, lately I saw a similar pose somewhere on a website. Time to do another one, I guess. Counterbalancing Therefor I had my model put her left arm vertically as well as her right lower leg. With her right arm I had her construct some kind of a bodily rectangle. Initial findings during the first stage induced the feeling of all things round. Then it hit me all of a sudden. The rectangular pose screamed for counterbalancing it with round forms. Hence, my own roundism style imposed itself on me once again. Realist Feel Initially the roundish shapes were a bit abstract and I had the plan to do a heavily abstracted female form. On the other hand, grace to my new studio lamps, I had great razor light coming from the back. The result is a curious mixture of chiaroscuro feel, even a realist feel. The abstraction and extrapolated curves are not forgotten though. As such my model is more abstracted than a first impression lets on. Graphite pencil (Faber Castell Pitt Graphite Matt pencil 14B) drawing Talens Bristol paper (21 x 29.7 x 0.1 cm) Artist: Corné Akkers Sales info: info@corneakkers.comMy 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.
