About the Item
Highly Motivated This oil painting ‘Art Deco Nude – 14-08-22’ is based on my graphite pencil drawing ‘Art Deco Nude – 05-08-22’. I liked that one and saw the potential for an oil. So I postponed an imminent project (Homage to Alma Tadema). For that one I already had a preparatory photo shoot with my model. But first things first. When it’s cooking perfectly you have to serve quickly. The same vibe I got discovering the potential of new drawing materials I had creating this oil. Therefor no delay and lo and behold, I cut to the chase like a knife through butter. Solutions for Hardnesses Before you admire my self-proclaimed pinpoint accuracy I have to state that I had to make some amendments. I found the linear structures extrapolated into the negative space around the female form a bit too harsh. Strange how straight contour delineations can create the illusion of soft, roundish forms. I had to abandon these sharp chiaroscuro planes around the body. The solution was to create some blocks of red and green planes floating freely around the female shape. I kept the triangle stemming from her back though, as a reference to the drawing. However, I did tune it down from a tonal point of view. Enter Coloration For no particular reason I had some kind of vintage look in mind. I wanted a color scheme resembling old Victorian brass instruments. Sometimes they seem to be lackered to a greenish patina. I simply love those because I can imagine such bygone eras most vividly. They also remind me to my parttime student job as suppost in Museum Boerhaave. They have many such objects on display, such as microscopes and telescopes. Serpentine or marble statues from the Art Deco era also came to mind. Consequently I used Turmaline green next to Sèvres green for the lighter parts. I counterbalanced these green with an array of reds, varying from almost orange to pink. My favorite Nickle Titanium yellow I used for the highlights. The result looks mildly complementary. The orange and brownish reds soften these contrasts a bit. I liked what I got: vividness but also a harmonious impression. Plane-Wise Emotions These colours also match my attempt to capture human emotions in planes, seeing both at the same time. I am utterly fascinated by the transition of forms in what we associate with them. Normal people (not artists) take these associations for the actual forms. Not me, I dissociate and take back what is stolen from babies. They see only forms and don’t know the meaning of them. Therefor, from an artistic point of view it is ridiculous to paint a human body. Reference Picture The drawing and painting are inspired by Walter Bird’s 1938 photo of model Rosemary Andree, called ‘Pocet Venus’. So my thanks go out to him and all artists from the Art Deco era in general. Back then they knew to combine craft and innovation perfectly, unlike the trash served as art today.

- Rusalka, Free Floating in Ukrainian Waters – 28-02, Painting, Oil on CanvasBy Corne AkkersLocated in Yardley, PAA New Color Scheme This oil painting I would like to call ‘Rusalka’ in honor of the latest developments in Ukraine. It is an elaboration of my pastel drawing ‘Free Floating Blue Wave Nude – 10-02-21’. That one was based on a previous graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 19-07-16’. It is one of those rare examples of doing one motif in all three mediums I came to master. Why this specific painting right now, one might ask. Well, after my last painting ‘Risque – 22-02-22’ I was in for something new. I felt I had exhausted that specific color scheme of reds, greens and yellows for the time being. Maybe it was that I also had to overcome some challenges on a level of color saturation. That is why I wanted to refrain from using reds this time and use to a new color scheme. Perhaps I wanted something cooler, more mysterious. All Hell Broke Loose Then all hell broke loose and the Russian-Ukrainian war started. Nevertheless did I have the color blue in my head for weeks now. Strange and how great our subconsciousness seems to work. The blue and yellow in the pastel may have reminded me to the Ukrainian flag somehow. The theme doesn’t have to do anything with the current war started by Russia at first sight. Then I remembered some of these Slavic folklore tales, stacked with goddess, nymphs and nixes. There was this thing about mythical mermaids. I guess they are present in many legends all over the world but a specific one I recalled: Rusalka. The Ukrainian tale talks about a young women that drowned in a river or lake and came to haunt it. She is not necessarily malevolent but you’d better be aware when you put your foot in the water as a young Russian soldier. How Blue Can you Get? Apart from the politican and mythical aspects I used cooler...Category
