About the Item

What Name It Bears … This graphite pencil drawing ‘Neo Deco – 26-01-23’ counterparts my previous one ‘Roundism – 20-01-23’. The reference picture is from the same model session I held in my studio but from a different angle. It totally differs stylewise though. One roundism at a time is enough, I thought. That is, because I have the feeling my search for something new keeps me wandering to and fro. Here I put it at your feet. There is roundism, neco deco and in the summer I made a series called ‘art deco’. Consequently I feel I have sunken into some kind of artistic name nitpicking swamp. On the other hand I clearly see the connection between all varieties, no matter what name it bears. Social Media Sentinels Makes me remember how this came to be. Long time ago I stopped attributing my drawings the n-word. The reasons was that social media sentinels kept on tracking me down and blocking me. How about that censorship and here we are folks, we live in dark ages nowadays! Not even in the middle ages because nudity and nipples were acceptable back then. What, did I say nudity? Well, I will be blocked by youtube for sure because of these lines. A good reason put these phrases in the second paragraph of this art statement. Therefor I can copy & paste the first one only into certain social media and the full version into the ones that don’t mind. This is how deep we have sunk as mankind. Thank God for labradors, golden retrievers, cats, buddhas and other safe motifs for the weak of heart. Heavily Abstracted Now we got this out of the way, the result was I wanted to create a heavily abstracted nude. The last one was blocked by youtube because, in spit of the roundistic styling, the nude obviously was deteced. Would be jolly good fun if algorithms were not capable to track this one. I’m sure human kind would spot the nude right away. As to my artistic approach, I decided to slighty refer to older work such as ‘Roundism – 07-04-18’.

Neo Deco – 03-12-22, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper
By Corne Akkers
Located in Yardley, PA
Bristol Again This graphite pencil drawing ‘Neo Deco – 03-12-22’ follows after a couple of colored pencil drawings. These were fun to do but I wanted to get back to basics and to me that has always been black and white. There was another reason too. Some months ago I drew ‘Art Deco Nude – 05-08-22’ on Ingres paper, which I didn’t use for a long time. Next to the love for Ingres I was a bit worried how my new Faber-Castell pencils would react on Bristol paper. I did a couple of tests then on demand of Brugman Art who gave me these to try out. Initially they felt a bit sticky on Bristol and a bit too smooth. Today I have to withdraw this statement and replace it with newer and better experiences. Gradients My major concern was whether I could get smooth tonal gradients such as the ones in my Roundism series. Now that I tried to combine Pitt Graphite Matt with Bristol I see I can. The gradients are just fine whereas I can blacken the paper even more than with regular graphite pencil. It is even susceptible for rubbing out. Furthermore it gives me the ability to find heftier expressions, covering the total tonal bandwith from pure black to pristine white. Neo Deco The artistic motif itself was yet another smashing Walter Bird photo...
