About The Artwork

Brugman Art And then the day for a planned live model session finally arrived: drawing Melina Noëlle. She is the daughter of Guinnie who is, together with her sister Gaby, responsible for the catering in Brugman art. They make me excellent coffee and sandwiches on a daily basis when I am sketching, waiting for my students. I sincerely advice you to visit the place one time soon now. My favorites are the Tuna Pinsa and the Da Vinci Sandwich. All that aside, there also happens to be a hilarious white baroque kitsch chair. You know, where artists dwell there are goofy props and furniture seemingly handpicked by the insane. Because nothing matches the combination is perfect. That’s sound emotional logic! Enter the Chair There she was one day: Melina sitting in it. She is a promising fashion designer recently graduated. Therefor she comes in style and I immediately saw the potential for a great drawing session. That one might be in prepariation for a smashing oil painting. This was that day. We placed the chair next to the main entry – street side. It also serves as a way to promote the gallery and restaurant. I was satisfied with the result because I was able to capture her features almost instantly. Sometimes you come across someone who is photogenic. She never was drawn or painted before but she struck a pose as if she already were a seasoned model. The drawing itself is a mere sketch really but I think I caught all her essentials. I decided to keep a rough edge and not to overelaborate it. Pastel and charcoal on Canson Mi-Teintes paper (50 x 65 x 0.1 cm) Artist: Corné Akkers

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.
