About the Item
New One This graphite pencil drawing ˜Neo Deco “ 10-12-22 follows after two consecutive cubist drawings. Golden Orange “ 29-11-22 was the last so-called ˜realist one. I just wonder why. Not coincidentally I happen to have a stash of old photographs with the female form as the main theme. They vary from the Victorian age up to the art deco epoque, my favorite of them all. The motif for this drawing at hand I dont know the origin of, unfortunately. So there is no one yet to give credit to. I would have like to because of the perfect lighting and natural grace that oozes out from it. I had it stored for quite some time but didnt what to do with it. That was until three days ago, after the completion of ˜Louise Brooks “ 07-12-22. No Roundism As usual I set out to get the proportions right to begin with and then go from there. See whatever artistic whim would dwell over me. First I had some premature roundistic extrapolations of bodily forms as a kind of ˜pencil note. For artistic reason I decided not to pursue this roundism style further in an early stage. The woman in the picture is standing upright, leaving only a few possibilities to extrapolate forms towards the negative space. No cubist move this time. Surreal Then? What then? I already was started to block in the light and toned all things up. Then I saw these birds stemming from her calves and lower back. I decided to go surrealistic and for 90% of the time spent on this drawing that was my very aim. I got a bit weary towards the end. I planned to do a giant peacock in the back behind the roundish plant shapes. As such I could refer to the birds already tucked inside the body. However, carrying through on this scheme would take me to depict that peacock a bit too obvious. Otherwise people wouldnt recognize it as such. There you have it, left to no other device than to turn it into a simple and plain tonal study. You could call it deco, realistic or impressionistic. The Solution Sometimes you have to let go nifty ambitions and keep it simple. It feels a bit as if I cheated myself out of it though. I hate sheer copying and thats where the final idea came popping up. I drew a sun with styled solar beams in the upper right corner. Occasionally the solution presents itself at the very end. It all made sense to me. The theme became ˜nothing looks as it seems. The sun is only part of the wallpaper and the true light is coming from above. The sun was a great replacement of the flowery patterns in the reference picture anyway. They felt a bit abundant. Problem solved. They next thing I did is to keep a rough edge. I didnt want the drawing to become overproduced. In fact I like the grainy structure it got because I didnt smooth all things out too perfectly.

- Art Deco Nude – 23-08-22, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on PaperBy Corne AkkersLocated in Yardley, PAMovement Another graphite pencil drawing ‘Art Deco Nude – 23-08-22’, inspired by again a smashing picture by Walter Bird. The last drawing shows a seated lady. Contrasts are always on my mind though. Not in the style but in movement this time. What attracked me in the motif was the angular position of the female form. I am not sure whether she stood still like this but it looks like some ritual dance. I can ask my Spanish model Julia who is a dancer to strikes these kinds of poses. All induced by Walter! Extrapolate Them The bodily features almost took up a perfect square. However, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to end up with too much negative space around her. Therefor, extrapolating her features into the negative space came to my aid. The planes that are born from this process support the overall expression of her moves, I think. Some of them I hached up to complete darkness, other to midtones. Vice versa I did in the positive form as well. The most contrasting tonal values (completely light / dark) I placed within the body. I wanted only mildly distracting or diffuse the viewer’s attention. This way I found a perfect balance. Emotional and Expressive Someone on called...Category

- Venus Lamenting - 13-01-23, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on PaperBy Corne AkkersLocated in Yardley, PAJust Another Artistic Motif This graphite pencil drawing ˜Venus Lamenting “ 13-01-23 is a special one. It is an indictment of prudishness. My second to last one ˜Roundism “ 30-12-22 apparently shook up a bunch of people. Comments varied from great to ˜yet another tit pic. There also were prudes from various countries who scorned me for the subject nudity anyway. Throughout the years I became used to these reactions somehow. I also take into account the fact people from each and any nation are present on social media nowadays. With this variety comes a whole set of different opinions and views of life. I cherish them all. That is, as long as they cherish my opinion back. If they dont, then this art statement is for all those who lack the word reciprocity in their dictionary. Climbing the Barricades Personally I think the nude can be as much an artistic motif as any other. In fact I dont complain in the least about a world of other motifs. One could like to depict golden retrievers, red roses and other darling, save and sound themes. I see them on a daily basis on Instagram and Facebook among others. I probably wouldnt have made a big fuss because of contempt shown in the past. Thats what an artist is all about. I even like to provoke with my nudes a bit. A bit of sexiness but not too much. Just to be able to deny the presence of too much of it by underligning artistic aspects as well. Hmm, a bit of risque here an there. I love it! Why climb the barricades once again? Heres why.
