About the Item
Something Different And now for something completely different: Roundism again. After ‘Art Deco Nude – 11-08-22’ it was time to unleash my Faber-Castell Pitt Graphite Matt pencils on Roundism. I delved into my stash of art deco photographs and saw a suitable one, conducive to creating round shapes. Unfortunately I couldn’t retrieve the photographer’s name anymore but hail to him or her anway. In my art statement I also thank photographers from aforementioned era for their crafty and artistic approach. They keep on inspiring me to invent stuff based on their visual ideas, very much unlike contemporary model photography. Should I seek for a new word like ‘Neo Art Deco’? That sounds a bit presumptuous. What do you think? Tonal Extremities Perhaps it’s all-in the tonal values. I simply love tonal extremities, backlit forms, creating rhythym and diction. A perfect playfield for putting my theories on ‘variation in repetition and repetition in variation’ into practise. With these new pencils I can shift into a higher gear. Regular graphite pencil is not very dark but keeps a shiny silverish glow. I feel now that blackening planes is much easier now and gives me that extra bit of darkness. It feels as if I have to be careful not to overdo it. Regular graphite forced me to keep on hatching, almost risking damaging the paper. Luckily the grainy structure prevents me from hatching too frantically. Composition I didn’t need much styling this time. Only in the hip section, the elbows and the right calf I made my typical roundism markings. I chose for hatching only certain parts to a perfect black, for example in the corners of cross sections. By letting run the curves off paper in the mid-section I prevented the female form from ‘floating’. That is a phenomenon in art indicating objects are not really embedded in the negative space around them. In the reference picture there were plenty of midtones and darker tones around the model. Therefor, extrapolating curves outside the body was the solution. As to the resolution, of course the Ingres paper show less resolution. I feel this offers more an added value than is an obstacle. More to create and I cannot wait to start a new one.

- Roundism - 30-12-22, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on PaperBy Corne AkkersLocated in Yardley, PALast One This Year This graphite pencil drawing ˜Roundism “ 30-12-22 is the last one of this year. After Neo Deco “ 25-12-22 I wanted to end this year in the style that brought me success the last decade. One could also argue that I just dont know where this particular style is heading for anyway. Surely I have this other thing, called ˜Neo Deco but I am not sure yet where this is going. Recently I wrote about my uncertainties with regard of serving something old as a new style. That is how it feels like, sort of. Maybe its just that I am trying to forge something out of dusty air of a bygone era. Its definitely a topic I want to delve much deeper into in 2023. For now I named all things round ˜roundism and cubistically straight things ˜neo deco. A pretty daft distinction perhaps. What do you think? Golden Ratio The motif for this actual work was derived from a reference picture taken by Walter Bird. The last one I used one of his photos for was Art Deco Nude “ 23-08-22. Even though the style of photographing is typically art deco I think his work stands out compared to many others. Not only did he use heavy doses of light and dark but also cropped nudes within the frame nicely. The result is a perfect bodyscape image. Due to the striking roundness of the breasts and tilted body position I thought drawing roundish shapes were almost unavoidable. I spotted some nice curves I extrapolated outside the female form. The ones besides her hip culminated into the golden ratio curves. A suitable ending for this year. The ending and the beginning of something entwined, as it should be. So is my search for the eternal and essential in the temporary. Graphite pencil (Faber Castell...Category
