A Most Peculiar Photo This work is a conversion of my graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism - 07-08-21 (sold)’ into oil. For the appreciation of the merits of the initial reference picture I refer to that link. I still think it is one of the most peculiar photos taken of a studio model. Makes me a bit jealous of my own poor photographical skills. In fact I have tried to have my regular model pose this way. To no avail though. I think the photographer must have used some kind of special objective and distance to get the foreshortening right. Not really possible in my small apartment. Adding Color Since the abstraction of bodily features in the drawing was perfect I needed only to invent the color scheme. The first set-up after the monochromous underpainting in Perylene black was a bit too strong. I had pinks and greens blend in bigger parts such as thighs. That is when I look up some of my older work and see if I get inspired by those. Frida Kahlo (2020) happens to hang in my studio and her colors keep on charming me. After some consideration I decided to use similar low chroma pinks – almost apricotish – as the dominant color. This way I pushed back the competing dominance of the greens. The bizarre forms of a body demand no hefty colors anyway. People most likely have a whole bunch on untangling limbs and making sense of the posture.

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.
