Solarization This graphite pencil drawing ‘Solarized Roundism – 26-11-21’ concerns a pose I had my model strike a couple of sessions ago. Strangely it takes me back a year ago when I experimented with solarization during the first lockdown in the Netherlands. The last one I did was ‘Roundism – 27-04-20’. Solarization as an artistic kind of surrealism was something I was intrigued with. However, beside one other ‘Solarized Geometry – 10-09-20’, I did not delve into it much deeper. Many things came in between, only for me to pick this phenonemon once again. Therefor I thought it would be fun to solarize a special pose by my regular model. Angular Shapes Many years ago I saw a pose that was angular of nature. The model seemed to take on bodyshapes that looked like stacked triangles. This proved to be a tall order but we took our time to get it just right. I like the result and I did not need to do a lot with the negative space. Hence I threw in some dark blocks with some horizontal and vertical delineations. Some folds of the bedspread I included though. Otherwise she looked as if laying on a concrete floor. The curtains in the background I skipped as well although the vertical tonal rhythym looked nice. It simply would be too much. More Abstraction Another aspect I wanted to delve into further was to introduce some realistic elements such as head and hands. Other features like the neck, breast, calves and feet I kept more abstract and in my roundism style. My hope is the spectator is forced to accept my drawing to be an anatomical correct depiction. Perhaps people will not even notice the abstraction extends way beyond their perception.

Netherlands
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.
