Description

Straight Lines and Curves This graphite pencil drawing Neco Deco 09-02-23 is a representation of the female body in both straight lines and curves. After the last one I wanted to continue with an almost total blackness in the background. I had a bit of solarization in mind though. Last year I made a series under this name. Blue Velvet 09-07-22 was the one to finished it off with. Lately I have become a bit reluctant adding to previous series and extend them to the max. Somehow I have the feeling to lay all these series to rest, like Roundism, Solarization and Art Deco Nude. One of the reasons is that I find my inner urge to classify my art almost silly. Must be my background as a lawyer but it's also because of the n*de word. Social media sentinels like to block me because of using it in the title. Deviantart Well, Neo Deco is just as good as any title and I like the sound of it. It also reflects the essence of the drawing at hand. Straight lines, roundish curvatures and solarized planes are a direct reminder to all things nice from the 1920s and 1930s. Then, on Deviantart I saw a pose I liked and this drawing is loosely based on that. I changed a lot of things though. I inversed the tonality and exaggerated knee caps and elbows dramatically. Eventually only the pose came out as the same, even though it is radically differently rendered. The suggestion of a frame comes from my previous drawing Venus Lamenting 13-01-23. It's not equally elaborated though and I thought it would be fun to draw some body parts over it. Free Sketching This is how things turned out to become when you are free sketching on sight without taking proportional measures. That's not always my modus operandi because usually I am more precise. However, some time ago I cranked up the frequency of model sketching. I must say, I am feeling confident again to sketch without thinking too much. Somehow, by overanalyzing proportions, I feel the process of finding and creating is a bit blocked. Of course these live model drawing sessions are meant for practising your hands only. An artist like me needs not think of creating a sellable product during such a session. On the other hand, I have sold pastels I made through live drawing in the past. Anyway, this one is just another attempt to practise my hand and come up with a great artistic idea. Perhaps one day you will buy it. Graphite pencil (Faber Castell Pitt Graphite Matt pencil 14B) drawing Talens Bristol paper

Corné Akkers, Neo Deco 09-02-23, 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.
