South of Nijmegen The Hatertse Vennen (Hatert Meres) is nature reserve where I came often when I was a young child. South of Nijmegen it is a place full of little meres, heather and forests. Because it was a long time ago since my last visit me and my dad went out for a stroll. Surprisingly I liked what they had done to the place. New insights in forest management delivered less dense woods and more spatiousness. They cut down the surplus of trees in order to have the original landscape reappear, such as heather and dunes. Finally I could see there were much more little ponds than I thought I knew. Style Obviously I like painting and sketching trees as you can tell by the abundance of landscapes I did in the past. Their baroque appearances never cease to inspire me. Perhaps I like them second to women who are less baroque but equally beautiful. For some reason I like to do pastel landscapes in my hatched strokes style. The blurry result I find more attractive than to delineate forms drawing them in the direction of those forms. Surely impressionism is a word that comes to mind naturally. I could not name the style differently. The technique of using colors is derived from pointillism and is called divisionism. See my pastel drawing ‘Meyendel 10-02-15’ for an explanation. Later Photo Due to the backlighting the original photo I took of this pastel was too dark. Since I bought my Canon D90 with a better lens I am able to catch more subtle shifts in color. That is why I took a new photo in 2021 so I also could post a better picture and printable.

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.
