Solarize It Again This graphite pencil drawing ‘Solarized Roundism – 02-03-23’ follows directly after one with the same name. You see, I quite got the hang of it. I’m totally in love with my bigger blue velvet sheet. I totally feel the folds add to the flavour because they contrast the model’s skin beautifully. Moreover, the hefty tonal shifts create an exciting rhythym, enforced by the process of solarization. It gives me new forms that combined still is detectable as fabric. That is because I experimented with the level of solarisation incrementally until I got the best of both worlds. Not too much, not too little. Something in the middle, I guess. Model Sessions Sessions with my regular model have become much of a photo shoot. The main reason is that I don’t want to spend my time on practising my hand sketching her. That’s due to the costs of such a session. It simply is a waste of money if I only draw her. The drawing can even work out properly. Sometimes I even get something sellable out of it. However, it’s a bad return on investment so I take hundreds of pictures of her. Then I use some kind of ‘storybook of postures’ I invented or was inspired by, having scouted them online. So I saw one that was simply smashing and I even blamed myself for not having invented that one myself.

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.
