A Sort of Try-out This graphite pencil drawing ‘Berg en Dal – 25-10-23’ puts me back on track. Lately I was planning to do some more cityscapes, treescapes and landscapes. Throughout my career as artist I consider, together with my cubist female forms, them the cement of my art. Surely, once in a while a bigger painting comes up. That’s the grand tale I have to tell from time to time. This little drawing at hand I completed today by definition is a sort of try-out. I like to experiment with slight changes in style in order to see if can get away with it. Boterberg You see, I drew one last May, almost the same spot. In Berg en Dal, Gelderland, Netherlands that is. I was curious if I could get the same quality again. I liked it and I like the very spot that is most dear to me as well. Same treelines and hilly outlook, slightly differently rendered though. We are talking about the Boterberg, part of Beek-Ubbergen. Higher up it could be Berg en Dal. I’m not sure. As stated before, dutch hills in the eyes of foreigners look ridiculous. However, any elevation in The Netherlands is good enough to spend some time on. Besides that, I don’t need extented forest like the Big Sur, California. I was there once and it seemed I could get lost there forever. The hills outside Nijmegen offer me just the right amount of artistic motifs. Impressionism or Cubism? As to the style, I must confess I didn’t get a cubist quality again. Although there are some cubist or roundistic elements in it, I missed a couple of big trees. In the other drawing there were some big striking trees at the right. Somehow I felt a more abstract cubist approach wouldn’t work in this one. I feared the scenery otherwise would have become a bit too much amorph looking. The artwork tends more to impressionism than cubism. What do you think? Last but not least, the shadow in the lower left corner is me. I remember I felt like one of those small figures straight out of a Caspar David Friedrich paintings.

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.
