Under an Hour A quick model study, inspired by a photograph by Laure Albin Guillot. After my graphite pencil drawing ‘Art Deco Nude - 23-08-22’ I frantically worked on my current oil painting in progress. That was until this morning at 10 AM when I got chased out of my apartment by my cleaning lady. Without nothing much at hand I finished this drawing I started yesterday evening when I was waiting for my students. They came early, so I had only the rough set-up. This morning I completed it and kept it under an hour. Such was the initial plan just as the first one in this series, called ‘Art Deco Nude - 05-08-22’. I quite get the hang of it and by now I fully revalue the Ingres paper. I didn’t use that one for decades and I feel like using it a lot more in the future. Laure Albin Guillot Last evening, after painting all day long, my mind wasn’t set on picking out a suitable motif for a new dawing. So I randomly picked one out. I happen to have that stash of old photographs, some Victorian, Edwardian but also a lot of Art Deco. I didn’t hear from Laure Albin Guillot before but I googled other pictures as well. I can tell you that instantly I became her fan, next to Walter Bird. This kind of photography I like the best. It’s a perfect play of light and dark and never quits to inspire me. I hope I will be able to take similar pictures of my models with better lighting one day.

1969, born in Nijmegen. My work can be seen in many countries all over the world. Corné employs 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. His favorites in doing so are oil paint, dry pastel and graphite pencil. He states that it’s 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’s the tonal quality that is ever present in his work, creating the illusion of depth and mass on a flat 2d-plane. Corné combines 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.
