About The Artwork

Roundism – 20-08-20 Solarized Roundism After my drawing ‘Roundism – 19-08-20’ I put it as my goal to do another solarized one but a little bit less and more abstract. Drawn in my roundism style it looks essential and I did not need much but to be presented as a bodyscape. It is also inspired by my drawing ‘Roundism – 08-09-16’ that I like to call ‘the deco one’. Eras Gone By Solarization as a visual element keeps lingering in my mind and I surely don’t know why that is. I keep on thinking of eras gone by, like Art Deco, surrealism, Jugendstil and what have you not. Of course solarization and roundism are fruits from these artistic movements but then again from the past. Even though I was born and raised in an era of modern art, pre-Word War II-art is more appealing to me. I guess I am an aesthetic and therefor refute everything rude, ugly, mundane and repetitive like contemporary art has to offer these days. Whether it is television, architecture or art, it is all mediocre to be. In my eyes art should present something unique, a beacon of light in a world that serves as an inspirational source. That could be an outdated mentality but it is bigger than me and thus keeps me occupied. Inspiration by Association or Dissociation Now you know something more about by artistic objectives I can tell you a secret: Inspiration is nothing more than association or dissociation. Aforementioned eras and uniqueness drive me to see one thing in another and thus inspiration never stops. Association and dissociation keep on bringing me ideas. It is like breeding rabbits. You buy one, buy another and before you know you have 10. This is why the last drawing brings forth this one but with some alterations and in a different way, just as this newest one. I am curious though to which extent I can stretch the female nude motif. Will I ever hit a brick wall?

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.
