Roundism - 13-03-18 (sold) Some years back I saw an incredible oil painting by Herman Gouwe of a sunset in cyan, yellow, purple and red and I it baffled me. How could bright shining light ever be portrayed better than this. Through his art work and many other like Monet, Cézanne, Rik Wouters, etc., I came to realize the last years I wanted to delve into these kind of luministic colour settings more, also after I experienced something extraordinary: I was driving in my car while the sun was shining very brightly on a wet road and I saw the reflected sun light of Herman Gouwe’s 4 colours appear in my eyes. I am not a medical doctor but I think it must have tickled my cone cells in my eyes, hence the colours created by them. It was time to set these principles loose in another cubist female form.

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.
