Description

Even at the Mauritshuis this graphite drawing 'A nakedness of celebrity neo-deco not piloted by AI – 09-03-23' is something different or not? Inspired by a wonderful reference image whose origins I don't know anyway. There are so many art deco images, but I still thank its creator. So, nothing new compared to the last one which is already in the series. I felt obliged to make a statement about artificial intelligence however. It seems to have infiltrated the world of art slowly but surely. From time to time, I hear troubling reports about AI-generated artworks exhibited as such in art competitions. The Mauritshuis loaned 'The Girl with the Golden Ear' to the Rijksmuseum for the major Vermeer exhibition. And guess what, there is one in the empty spot. Does handmade art crumble into pieces? Just another algorithm. So I tried some AI generator websites to see what all the fuss was about. I had in mind a cubist painting of a woman, a cat, and a window. Of course in the style of Cornélio Accers but I also had it generated for Juan Gris and Fernand Léger. Surprisingly, they all looked identical. After some reflection, it came to me. What people consider intelligent, however artificial it may be, is another algorithm. In fact, I don't think AI does not exist as such. My works and those of other artists are just part of that. We will all be part of the things that AI takes to generate something that looks original. AI will be the finger of the sage for many viewers, while the finger secretly points to the moon. That is where the artists reside. Taste There is no real creative force at play, only the combination of images and texts already present on the Internet. Okay, it's not something really new, is it? Artists like me do that all the time. Ultimately, we stand on the shoulders of our predecessor artists. For example, Paul McCartney chewed a variation of a Bach fugue. So far, everything is fine. But why does AI-driven art seem bland when real artists can offer new perspectives on things? I think it is not a matter of choice aspect. It may be dictated by a coincidence that I suspect AI uses all the time. An algorithm can launch a piece. Human artists can too, but they have what AI lacks: taste! Another word for that is opinion of course. Does the algorithm series include individual taste? I don't think so. That is still magically granted to living beings. Haagse Punt When I think about this, it brings me back to my student years. In Leiden, I lived above a bakery and they had the concept of the so-called 'Haagse Punt'. The leftover confectionery was mixed in. In the Netherlands, we say 'Haags' (or The Hague-ish) and it means cheapness. Therefore, the Haagse Punt was the cheapest slice of cake you could buy, being a perfect way to recycle things that would otherwise be thrown away. So, everything is mixed and the result is something bland like Budweiser or Heineken. Many will like it but now I know the secret of these Frankenstein brewers. They just average out the taste, even if Joe Sixpack likes it or I should say, doesn't hate it? Conclusion I think that in the long term, original and creative thinkers do not have to worry too much about AI. Perhaps we can use it to be inspired by its results. On the other hand, AI-generated art will only be attractive to those who like only a Bud or a Heineken. They will not be tempted to try a specific and original Belgian trappist beer. The more people post images and texts on the Internet, the more the result of AI will be tasteless and bland. That is my prediction. Nachgedanke I do not see AI doing what happened to me. I was inspired by the song 'In the Waiting Line' by Zero 7 while drawing this one. 'Do you believe what you see. Stationary wheel. Nothing is real'.

Corné Akkers, A Non AI-Driven Neo Deco Celebrity Nude 09-03-23, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper

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.
