About the Item
A Most Peculiar Photo This work is a conversion of my graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism - 07-08-21 (sold)’ into oil. For the appreciation of the merits of the initial reference picture I refer to that link. I still think it is one of the most peculiar photos taken of a studio model. Makes me a bit jealous of my own poor photographical skills. In fact I have tried to have my regular model pose this way. To no avail though. I think the photographer must have used some kind of special objective and distance to get the foreshortening right. Not really possible in my small apartment. Adding Color Since the abstraction of bodily features in the drawing was perfect I needed only to invent the color scheme. The first set-up after the monochromous underpainting in Perylene black was a bit too strong. I had pinks and greens blend in bigger parts such as thighs. That is when I look up some of my older work and see if I get inspired by those. Frida Kahlo (2020) happens to hang in my studio and her colors keep on charming me. After some consideration I decided to use similar low chroma pinks – almost apricotish – as the dominant color. This way I pushed back the competing dominance of the greens. The bizarre forms of a body demand no hefty colors anyway. People most likely have a whole bunch on untangling limbs and making sense of the posture. Finished? I completed this on a Sunday evening, so I thought. You never can tell, especially after an intensive session. It’s always excitingly uncertain to see it in the morning whether it is really finished or not. Last painting with the Durieu theme someone asked me if the painting was created by an algorhythym or not. That takes me back to a moment in time when I saw a Tamara de Lempicka in real life. I was relieved by the fact that I saw some slight irregularities in the form of brush strokes. Also did some planes appear perfectly aligned but not 100% exact. This Monday morning I decided I didn’t want to sweep mine under the rug. In some parts, for example the right shoulder, the paint is not smoothed out completely. The imperfection is perfect now.

- 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
