About the Item
Prestudy in Graphite Surely it is time to pay homage to Eugène Durieu, especially his photograph of a seated female nude. First I made a study in graphite pencil last year. By clicking the link you can read on the who and the why, otherwise I would introduce him twice. As for now, since the completion of my Risque Series I am selecting multiple drawings from the recent past. Some posts ago I explained that from last February on I am converting my drawings into oil. There are simply too many good ones to ignore, some better than others of course. Straight Cubist Planes This time I found it was time to return to straight cubist planes after the latest anaglyphical experiment. My initial cubist styling was all straightly lined up, roundism came later. I don’t know why I would like to return to that initial styling again. Maybe it was that some time back I finished Ode to Tamara de Lempicka – 31-03-22 and I liked the result. In the back of my mind I kept the intention to do another one of the kind shortly. Deviation It is what I am used to do with different sub-styles I developed through time. Furthermore, the task I set myself was simple: Display the female form in the cubist style and for the rest give it some kind of realist look. It is a slight deviation from my first cubist paintings such as Cubist Nude 01 (2013). The latter has much more color saturation and it was time for me to turn a different corner. I used slightly less strong colors in order to match with a more realistic look. See if I could get away with that. Rip Associations Apart You see, we as artists always play with the imagination of people who watch our paintings. Rubbing them the right way they will be able to see more than the painting actually lets on. Therefor I present figuration on the cutting edge of recognizing the female form as well as aesthetic cubist planes. Both at the same time. From early childhood on we have learnt to associate forms with what they represent. In fact we simply equate these associations with the names we have given them. I try to rip them apart a bit. So, don’t you agree there is a narrative in my kind of formalism?

- 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
