About the Item
First Roundism of This Year This graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 20-01-23’ is the first one of its kind this year. After ‘Venus Lamenting – 13-01-23’ I wanted to do a similar one. However, it turned out to become something completely different. I thought I’d exploit a good idea further. That was to include a frame inside a drawing. As is the case in many other works I soon realized I wasn’t keen on repeating myself that quickly. It felt almost like pulling a cheap trick whereas the idea itself I found to be original. Maybe later. There were other reasons too though. Squarish Position Last Thursday I had my regular model come over to pose for me. I had prepared a story book of poses I would like her to strike. One of them was inspired by a pose Madonna once struck for a cover photo. There she kept her arms and body in a squarish position and I found that simply fascinating. It was unlike the pose for Roundism 26-11-21 but something similar. In fact I used it once or at least something alike, like Yeast – 18-09-19. When I come to think of it, it might my regular model’s idea in the first place. Anyway, lately I saw a similar pose somewhere on a website. Time to do another one, I guess. Counterbalancing Therefor I had my model put her left arm vertically as well as her right lower leg. With her right arm I had her construct some kind of a bodily rectangle. Initial findings during the first stage induced the feeling of all things round. Then it hit me all of a sudden. The rectangular pose screamed for counterbalancing it with round forms. Hence, my own roundism style imposed itself on me once again. Realist Feel Initially the roundish shapes were a bit abstract and I had the plan to do a heavily abstracted female form. On the other hand, grace to my new studio lamps, I had great razor light coming from the back. The result is a curious mixture of chiaroscuro feel, even a realist feel. The abstraction and extrapolated curves are not forgotten though. As such my model is more abstracted than a first impression lets on.

- 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
