About The Artwork

A Bit of Impressionism This graphite pencil drawing ‘Den Haag – Nassaulaan – 01-05-24’ is a bit of impressionism. For no particular reason I always associate this season with impressionist paintings and drawings of landscapes. Get yourself outdoors you’d say and sketch. Usually, during this time of year I already would have made some. However, it’s been raining quite heavily since Spring arrived but it’s getting better all the time. The weather is starting to improve here in The Netherlands. Soon I’ll be back out there drawing in a camping chair somewhere. Nassaulaan As to the drawing at hand I have to disappoint you. It’s not made at the very spot. There was this small exhibition ‘Children of The Hague School’ in Panorama Mesdag I intended to visit. That was a couple of weeks back and it was such a day you couldn’t decide to wear a coat or not. At the Mauritskade I decided to go for a little detour and turn right on the Nassaulaan. There was this see through with a little canal between two big mansions. I took some picture and got to the exhibition. I always like these combinations of human-made structures and nature. It gives context and contrast.

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.
