Description

Just Another Artistic Motif This graphite pencil drawing Venus Lamenting 13-01-23 is a special one. It is an indictment of prudishness. My second to last one Roundism 30-12-22 apparently shook up a bunch of people. Comments varied from great to yet another tit pic. There also were prudes from various countries who scorned me for the subject nudity anyway. Throughout the years I became used to these reactions somehow. I also take into account the fact people from each and any nation are present on social media nowadays. With this variety comes a whole set of different opinions and views of life. I cherish them all. That is, as long as they cherish my opinion back. If they don't, then this art statement is for all those who lack the word reciprocity in their dictionary. Climbing the Barricades Personally I think the nude can be as much an artistic motif as any other. In fact I dont complain in the least about a world of other motifs. One could like to depict golden retrievers, red roses and other darling, save and sound themes. I see them on a daily basis on Instagram and Facebook among others. I probably wouldn't have made a big fuss because of contempt shown in the past. That's what an artist is all about. I even like to provoke with my nudes a bit. A bit of sexiness but not too much. Just to be able to deny the presence of too much of it by underligning artistic aspects as well. Hmm, a bit of risque here an there. I love it! Why climb the barricades once again? Here's why. ArtKitchen In a dutch paper, called there was this item on Jeannette Dekeukeleires. She is the gallery owner of ArtKitchen in Amsterdam, known for its stimulating and provocative art. After 20 years she will close the doors because of the effects cancel culture has on her business. Apparently there are many people visitors and people passing by who complain about nude art in her gallery. Faced with threats she came to the conclusion art isn't suppose to stimulate or provoke anymore. I find this a very sad story. Hence I offer you my lamenting Venus to you all. It would be fun to see someone complaining about this nude on social media right away. Would I be willing to guide him or her through to this art statement for some badly needed re-education? Perhaps the best attitude is to respect the complainer's inability to respect my view on things. Klimt Something completely different is the execution of this drawing. Last November I visited Klimt The Golden Boy exhibition at The Van Gogh Museum together with my parents. There I saw his painting Judith for the second time. Surely that is one of my favorites. Not only for his painting techniques but also because of the excellent framing job. Actually, I am a bit jealous. Therefor The Trompe-l'Å“il frame is to commemorate his skills of using gold leaf in paintings and frames. Last but not least, the reference picture I used is a photo from1927 made by Swedish photographer Mois Benkow.

Corné Akkers

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.
