Something New,
This roundism oil painting is quite different from the last roundistic one, called "Singularity 23-12-21". Whereas the latter was all about the use of shiny colors, the experiment at hand has another color range. Maybe I felt I needed a change from mother-of-pearl and metal paints. That was fun too but to me creating art is all about the process of finding something new. Of late I have tried out some different, more expressionistic color schemes like the combination of greens and reds. Such resulted in a colored pencil drawing "Risque 18-01-22" and an oil "Risque 13-12-21".

Speed Things Up
Especially the latter I like, not in the last place because I made that one in a couple of days. The Singularity painting took me half a year. Even though I like to have some big projects in progress, some medium sized paintings are necessary too. They enable me to try out new things and speed up the process of painting. Not that speed in itself is a goal but to prevent myself from becoming too shy and prudent. Painting only high-end surrealist works full of details is a mighty craft but won't evoke the daredevil in me. Therefor I put myself the task of completing this one in three days. I almost managed to do so. Half a day in addition.

New Color Scheme
And why not crank up the volume of oils? After all, I made all these graphite pencil drawings I still consider prestudies in some sort of way. These A4-sized drawings started out as doodles waiting for my students at Brugman Art. Actually I am amazed by the fact I sold so many in the past. Anyway, time to lay them all out to be put in oil. I happened to have bought some new paints. I felt I kind of got stuck in the same kind of color schemes all the time. So I bought some lovely earth pigments like Schmincke Pozzuoli earth and Pompeian red. I combined them with Old Holland nickel yellow and yellow-brown. As cool colors I used Rembrandt Sèvres green and combined black with ultramarine to get a deep dark tone. It serves as a ligament throughout the entire painting, welding all colorful parts together.

Romy Roams Around
The result is quite surprizing but I like it. I think I will do another one with these same colors. The portrait by the way evolved into a slight resemblance to Romy Schneider. One of the most beautiful women I have ever saw. Is that a coincidence?

Imagine it at home

Corné Akkers, Roundism 04-02-22
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.
