About the Item
Back to the Narrative This graphite pencil drawing ‘Slava Ukraini – 28-09-23’ incorporates a narrative or theme again. Neo Deco – 20-09-23 merely knew a formalistic approach. Good enough but I think my life extents far beyond my capabilities of making pretty pictures of darling women. Of late I feel a bit discontent only depicting, interpreting, presenting and abstracting the female form. Throughout the years I have made hundreds of studies. Now I think I may have come to some kind of a standstill. Time to tell stories, don’t you think? Nina – 13-09-23 already expressed that desire. A Beautiful Reference Picture Then, all of a sudden I stumbled upon a beautiful picture from 1952. That’s all it said. I have no photographer’s name I can give tribute to. Anyway, I found it particularly beautiful. It shows a woman standing next to a stable with a still life on it. Heavily chiaroscuro toned, right up my alley, I’d say. However, it’s not my bag to only copy a photograph. Hence I was wondering if I could alter the theme more to my liking. In general, I find still lifes beautiful but also a tad boring. Perhaps I just don’t feel like Cézanne who proclaimed he’d surprize ‘Paris’ with an apple. A Room with a View Normally, I have a pretty good idea what I am going to do before the start. When it comes to creating stories, that’s different though. The cubist straight approach of the lady on the left was comparatively easy. Next came the table andthe floor skirting boards and the floor. Then, all of a sudden it hit me right between the eyes. A vision of a deserted room entered my mind. Perhaps a derelict builing in decay. A female soldier in the Ukraine, undressed with only a couple of belongings around her. Next came the association ‘a room with a view’ by Noël Coward so enter a window. The window became a mural through which a crack in the wall runs. Fine Wines This lead to the duplication of the table into the mural but with a bottle of ‘Krim’ from Bakhmut. Perhaps she visualizes her past or even contemplates her future. In the window of the mural there’s a traditional dancer with the typical flower tiara. That might be her. Don’t you agree it’s time for peace? Perhaps Russians can agree to that. Time to realize that young men shouldn’t fight a war initiated by old men. I want to conclude this art statement quoting John Lennon: “What if there was a war and nobody came?â€

Risque – 22-01-22, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper
By Corne Akkers
Located in Yardley, PA
Angular Times The next one in the Risque series. After my previous colored pencil drawing ‘Risque – 18-01-22 I wanted to experiment with angular structures again. The reason is that I already did one in my roundism style (Risque – 11-01-22). One could say I was looking for yet another challenge. In the description to aforementioned drawing I wrote about cross-overs between abstraction and realism. This time it was time to set loose this ambition of mine on straight-edges plains. See if I can get away with a realistic impression wrapped in abstraction than it lets on at first glance. Flash Lightning The reference picture is taken during the session of December 30th 2021. That was a great one and I directly fell in love with her chair and rugged blanket. Notwithstanding her roundness by definition Julia happened to took this position with her arms spread. Her left leg was placed in a spectacular angled position. The result was a flash lightning, running from her toes up her leg and spine, branching towards her arms. The tonal rhythym of light and dark plains did the rest. I could not think of a better model and a better position. The Cat Executing the drawing and almost finished I felt something was missing though. It seemed the left corner did look a bit empty. It needed an introductory detail. There simply was only one thing that came to mind, almost automatically: her cat. She happens to have a Scottish Fold...
