Anaglyphical Roundism – 12-05-22 Painting

Back in Style This oil painting in the Roundism series is an elaboration of my graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism - 25-12-17’. In my previous oils I used a luministic color scheme. However, this time I was up for something new. Rather than creating nifty pareidolia effects I wanted to delve into styling again or artistically speaking turn to formalism. Said drawing was perfect for this. I sold it quickly and I think it may be a winner in oil as well. I even didn’t have to change the composition. The drawing already said it all from a formalistic point of view. Back in Black In order to capture the exact forms I already caught in graphite I wanted to use so-called ‘dead paint’. So I thought. Right before the start I changed my mind. Somehow I thought it would be better to use Winsor & Newton’s Perylene black. It has a nice green-blueish shine to it. Perhaps subconsciously I associated the motif with art deco somehow. The dull green shine made me think of interiors from that era. We could consider then to appear old-fashioned, perhaps even corny. I like that! Sucker for Beauty Maybe I am just a sucker for old school things and therefor revel in retro styles. I certainly do not feel at ease in this current era. Craft seems to be ripped apart from artistic ambitions and it may be that I seek to restore the love for craft. The painting shows my love for stylistic elements invented by Jan Toorop (Delftsche Slaolie). I also could mention Alphonse Mucha, Tamara de Lempicka and so many others. They even may have induced the notion of a back to aesthetics feeling I have for so long now.
