About The Artwork
Search for Perfection This oil ‘Melina Noëlle – 18-03-23’ is the result of a long search for perfection. Let me tell you all about it. In September last year I made a live pastel drawing in preparation of a painting. That one was followed by a colored pencil drawing in November 2022. I wanted to study color relations first. For previous considerations I made with regard to this process I refer to the link above. So now was the time to get it right. A sort of grand painting. You know how this goes when you’re starting to get serious. You quickly bite off more than you can chew. Compositional Definition Defining composition was easy though. I already done that in the previous two pieces. For example, the placement of the pump on the lower left and the armrest at the right in the middle. I knew I had to put them on the outer rigdes in order to get the maximum length. Hunky dory so far until I was fed up with the flowery theme from the drawing. Luckily I got another idea soon after I began painting. It’s the story behind a previous drawing ‘Slava Ukraini – 15-02-23’. Uzory December 19th there was this charming Ukrainian ensemble Uzory performing at Brugman Art. They come from Mykolajiv and their repetoire consists of folkore but also classic and jazz. I was teaching around the corner in the adjacent studio, listening to fine virtuoso music. After the wrap up I first came to know the deeper story. Apparently the male members came back from the Ukraine, only to return to the front after Christmas. Just to share some holiday time with their wifes in Holland. I was very much inpressed by this and I had a perfect story to complete the main theme. It would give the painting the needed deepening next to a perfect young woman to depict.

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.
