A New Model This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nina – 09-08-23’ marks something new. Not the style though. That more or less is my newly found neo deco. It’s all about the model. About two weeks ago somebody on deviantart replied to my last oil ‘Neo Deco – 30-07-23’. That person happened to be a model under the name ‘NinaErotique’. You know by now I’m not into sleazy, unartistic nudes. I’m here on earth to celebrate nudity forged by higher beings as the pinnacle of beauty. Not my words but communis opinio amongst artists at the turn of the 20th century. Apparently she happens to think the same way. The result is a beautiful array of tasteful pictures. Some are nudes, other are about fashion and a bit of glamour on the side. I certainly would recommend you to click that link or visit her website. Clothed she has a lovely body and appearance. However, first I was touched by a photo of her sitting wearing a sheer negligee. She has great long auburn hair flowing down from her head into curly structures. Her face ‘en profil’ looks very angelic. You’ve got to embrace happiness when it present itself. Consequently this one had to be the first work I created of her. Even though the artistic motif has a lot of muted lighting the background sets her off perfectly. So, there you have it: all the fine ingredients to create a work of art. Tonal Troubles When you set out to draw or paint it’s all about measuring proportions. Get them right, tweaking them anatomically. Often I can spot some cubist forms I can play with right away. This time there was no exception to these principles. However, I soon realized the hair, attire, facial expressions were only depicted in the smallest of tonal bandwidths. In the statement to my last drawing I expressed my concerns about forms becoming too lumpy. Hence, I took extra care to avoid that at all costs.

Netherlands
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.
