About The Artwork

What’s Next? This graphite pencil drawing ‘Beek – 26-06-24’ is a carefully combined and planned mixture of impressionism and cubism. What do you think of it? Let me put down some words in order to explain what my goal was. In the recent past I did a lot of quick impressionist sketches on A6 and A5 size paper. Last one was ‘Hortus Botanicus – 26-05-24’. Then I worked with full force to complete my oil painting ‘Venus Lamenting – 14-06-24’. After that I didn’t feel like sketching and painting for an instance. There was enough work to do with regard to website maintenance. Sometimes I envie people like Van Gogh and Cézanne who didn’t had to do their own marketing. Anyway, after a week I got into the mood of creating again. However, I asked myself whether I wanted to go back to sketching on small format paper or not. Combination of Impressionism & Cubism Maybe do another A4 size landscape like so many in the past. Then I remembered the fun of making ‘Estate Oosterbeek – 31-03-20 (Sold)’. That one I found to be a succesful combination of realist, impressionist and cubist elements. Next to this I also had this wonderful scenery in mind. Located in one of my favorite places to be: Beek-Ubbergen, Gelderland, Netherlands. In the center there is this charming little church called the ‘Bartholomeuskerkje’ I drew back in 2020. On one of my frequent trips to the place I came across it once again. Suddenly I was caught by a glimpse into the St. Bartholomaeuskerk situated behind the smaller church. The very spot had it all: plenty of leaves, architectural structures. Also a great division between light and dark.

1969, born in Nijmegen. My work can be seen in many countries all over the world. Corné employs a variety of styles that all have one thing in common: the ever search for the light on phenomena and all the shadows and light planes they block in. His favorites in doing so are oil paint, dry pastel and graphite pencil. He states that it’s not the form or the theme that counts but the way planes of certain tonal quality vary and block in the lights. Colours are relatively unimportant and can take on whatever scheme. It’s the tonal quality that is ever present in his work, creating the illusion of depth and mass on a flat 2d-plane. Corné combines figurative work with the search for abstraction because neither in extremo can provide the desired art statement the public expects from an artist. Besides all that, exaggeration and deviation is the standard and results in a typical use of a strong colour scheme and a hugh tonal bandwith, in order to create art that, when the canvas or paper would be torn into pieces, in essence still would be recognizable.
