Description

Hatching against the Form. My previous graphite pencil drawing Geesje Kwak 25-08-21 was executed in my hatched strokes style and I kinda like it. Sometimes you just feel like doing this or that but in this particular case I understand better why. The textures in the reference picture are so delicate. Any attempt to draw them in the direction of the forms would render them too harsh. It would lead only to unwanted symbolism and as to me: I am a disciple of the light. The play of light and darkness impressionists that once characterized impressionists is a key factor I will celebrate always. Hatching against the form I would like to call it. It gives me forms that, though they look broken against the grain, show the exact impressionist or even realist view. In many only subtle tonal shifts is the only thing it takes. Tonal Subtleties The actual reference picture I used did not show these tonal subtleties at all. Geesje's portrait almost seems like a puzzle piece, forelorn and astray across a landscape scattered by decorative flowery patterns. It is almost too much of a good thing and perhaps that is why Breitner did not use the picture for one of his paintings. Patterns and textures like these I can say from experience can lead to a messy look that convey nothing but a rubble pile. That is why I did two things. I introduced some darker linear structures throughout the depiction and I rendered most of the flowers a bit darker. The darker structures next to the Japanese screen at the right I also darkened up. They were poking in my eyes too much. The result of this all is a crossover between impressionism and cubism, just as my initial plan was.

Corné Akkers

Netherlands  • 1969

Presentation

Corné Akkers was born in 1969 in Nijmegen, Netherlands. He grew up in a Bohemian environment, during the 70's. This ideal creative atmosphere inspired him and gave him the desire to paint. He trained in painting and drawing.

In his paintings, the artist explores the nude and portrait with several types of analysis and treatments, and doesn't lose sight on how light plays an important role. He combines the figurative style and the quest for abstraction, he plays around with colors and creates vast optical illusions. Not only is his work unique, his paintings shout out cubism but also surrealism and fauvism. They are so hypnotic that they are able to capture the look.

While working as a painter, Akkers also teach art at Voorburg in Netherlands. His paintings have been exhibited several times and sold to art collectors, all around the world.
