Anaglyphical Roundism – 27-07-22 Print

Abstracting Endeavours This oil painting Anaglyphical Roundism – 27-07-22 is my next project after ‘Golden – 18-07-22’. That one kicked up a lot of dust. Of course I like to vary so this time it was all about cubist styling again. Chosing a theme proves to be difficult because I made so many graphite pencil drawings yet to elaborate yet. For no particular reason I chose ‘Tribute to Man Ray (Lee Miller) – 22-04-16 (sold)’. Particularly that one I always like a lot in spite of the fact that I sold it only years later. Maybe a recognition by the public of my abstracting endeavours. In particular I sought abstraction in keeping bodily features open and let them communicate with the negative space around them. The hand leaning over the absent knee almost is a laugh. However I don’t think adding more knee was necessary. A Challenge All very fine but what to do next? Since I started to do merely oils this year based on previous drawings., I put myself in new trouble. Often I feel bad about sheer copying a theme, even if it is my own drawing. I take pleasure in inventing stuff and I was wondering what value I could add. Obviously that would be color but what scheme? I happened to go to Museum Kranenburgh in Bergen where I wanted to see Leo Gestel’s Mallorca series. It very well may be he could offer me some solutions. Next to the landscape paintings especially one Gitana portrait caught my eye. It contained an array of beautiful pinks, blues, purples and reds. So it came to be that I experimented with these colors. Very soon I found it the experiment was to no avail.
