About The Artwork
Oosterbeek – 07-04-20 I always find it difficult to draw an impressionistic blossom tree without falling back to depict branches and the blossom in a rather symbolic or linear way. High up the tree blossoms tend to show the same values as the sky and thefore only differ colourwise. Using only black and white makes it only more difficult and that is why I spend more time on this one than the previous drawing. I exaggerated the white in the blossom a little bit whereas I drew a couple of more branches in order to avoid ending up with an amorphous tree in a hybrid play of light and dark around it. I think now the tree showss enough depth of field now. It is a beautiful tree by the way, standing in Oosterbeek Park, near Clingendael, The Hague, 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.
