About The Artwork

Synaesthetic State of Mind This Risque oil looks like a wild Liberace. Or could it be that I was inspired by the song ‘Digital Love’? Often I get these almost synaesthetic feelings whilst listening to music. Daft Punk’s music put feelings of plastic, slickness and flow into my mind. Hence, the roundistic features that came popping out. Well, Storm Eunice was blazing over Holland and my apartment (8th floor) was shaking. I saw the paintings started to wiggle to and fro on the walls. Then I thought I’d open up a bottle. Listening to a hefty song with in one hand my brush and the other a glass of wine! It made me forget all about it. More Abstraction The oil is the first one in the Roundism style of Julia in this particular series. The previous oil painting looks rather different. The composition is derived from my graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 11-01-22’ but I took it one step further. This one looks more ‘robotic’ so to speak. In the abdomen area for example I defined more abstracted forms. The drawing looked rather impressionistic but this one is more abstracted, especially in the mid-section. Therefor facial features caught less tonal bandwidth so the focus would lie entirely on the centre of the body. After all, it’s the bodyscape and the overal composition that were the key features that caught my attention. Saturational Issues Usually in a later stage one needs to beef up the saturational degree of hues. This time I made parts more unsaturated, more as a correction than as a deliberate act. Sometimes it happens when working in the evening my daylight lamp deceives me. I happened to paint the colors warmer than they ought to be due to the cool lamp. Seeing your painting in the morning can give the feeling your worsest enemy changed your painting during the night. Colors simply were too strong. This morning I completed it nevertheless by tuning them down with some earth pigments. The result almost reminds me to futurism in a way. Oil on linen (60 x 80 cm) Artist: Corné Akkers

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.
