About The Artwork
Golden - 01-02-21 One Color is No Color This pastel is in line with my previous pastel drawing ‘Golden – 28-01-21’ but that one looks rather monochrome. Time it was to add some more colors and define relations between them. After all, that is what color is all about. One color is no color. Two colors show relations. One says something about the other and the other way round. Three colors define nine relations and so forth. The more color the more complex a work of art can be, almost to the unbearable. Colors and Saturation The initial goal was to start with the yellows and brownish oranges and see what might turn up. I soon discovered that these colors and a wide tonal bandwidth only brought me something similar as my latest. Therefor I introduced some greens and blues. They brought some relief but I still needed a couple of purples in order to balance the yellow more radically. Thereafter I played around with different degrees of color saturation. Albeit colorful in essence, real saturated colors are scarce in this pastel drawing. These easily can lead to inflation and consequently to a screaming depiction causing tired eyes. That is why I used a lot of yellow but the areas are very light and thus less saturated. The drawing does not seem to match the title but in fact I used gold pastel patches a lot in this one. Perhaps they show more in the video. The Result Even though I am the creator I still find it fascinating what the final result is. It turns out to satisfy my expectations to some extent but also surprises me. The atmosphere and the feel is totally different from the original graphite pencil drawing Roundism -26-10-19. This having said, I like the color balance I achieved and that is what I set out to gain. Pastel drawing on Clairfontaine Pastel Mat paper (69.4 x 49.8 x 0.1 cm) Artist: Corné Akkers

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.
