Back to the Narrative This graphite pencil drawing ‘Slava Ukraini – 28-09-23’ incorporates a narrative or theme again. Neo Deco – 20-09-23 merely knew a formalistic approach. Good enough but I think my life extents far beyond my capabilities of making pretty pictures of darling women. Of late I feel a bit discontent only depicting, interpreting, presenting and abstracting the female form. Throughout the years I have made hundreds of studies. Now I think I may have come to some kind of a standstill. Time to tell stories, don’t you think? Nina – 13-09-23 already expressed that desire. A Beautiful Reference Picture Then, all of a sudden I stumbled upon a beautiful picture from 1952. That’s all it said. I have no photographer’s name I can give tribute to. Anyway, I found it particularly beautiful. It shows a woman standing next to a stable with a still life on it. Heavily chiaroscuro toned, right up my alley, I’d say. However, it’s not my bag to only copy a photograph. Hence I was wondering if I could alter the theme more to my liking. In general, I find still lifes beautiful but also a tad boring. Perhaps I just don’t feel like Cézanne who proclaimed he’d surprize ‘Paris’ with an apple. A Room with a View Normally, I have a pretty good idea what I am going to do before the start. When it comes to creating stories, that’s different though. The cubist straight approach of the lady on the left was comparatively easy. Next came the table andthe floor skirting boards and the floor. Then, all of a sudden it hit me right between the eyes. A vision of a deserted room entered my mind. Perhaps a derelict builing in decay. A female soldier in the Ukraine, undressed with only a couple of belongings around her. Next came the association ‘a room with a view’ by Noël Coward so enter a window. The window became a mural through which a crack in the wall runs.

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.
