Roundism – 06-02-18 (sold) Recently I saw a picture of a model passing by posing a great triangular shape. I used this principle and my own model (with a bob hair cut) to make a cubistic composition out of triangles, circles and rectangulars, complemented with a harmonized balance of light and darker planes, creating rhythym and diction.

Roundism - 08-10-17 In this drawing I tried to play with triangles, circles and rectangulars forming the model posture. Next to this the laws of singularity as described earlier apply just very nicely. As a result diagonals verticals and horizontals are in perfect harmony together with a maximum tonal bandwith spread throughout the paper in a diagonal shape.

Roundism - 10-05-17
A pastel variety on the previous drawing 'Roundism - 02-05-17' in which I tried to match the found styled forms to a colour scheme that would match them. It was a hell of a job to balance them all.

Roundism - 20-11-16
The style of roundism put into colours and open spheres. I strongly looked for an overall distribution of the colour scheme so that none of the colours used would be dominant over another. The model is just an excuse to practise cubism this way.

Roundism - 25-04-17
Part of the roundism series, in which I wanted to keep a big part of the body open and indicate and style only a portion of the shades.

Roundism - 28-09-17 When I looked at the hand streched out on the bed I immedately knew what to do. It looked like a styled wave. Besides that I liked doing the body in an a very smooth finish with a slow gradual tonal threshold from ultra dark to very light.

Roundism - 29-05-17 (sold)
A pastel version of the graphite pencil drawing 'Roundism - 26-05-17'. I used the primary colours red, yellow and blue to honor 'De Stijl', a dutch art movement that celebrates its 100 birthday this year. Mondriaan was all about moving about planes and lines in his ever search for the perfect composition. I think I will work out the previously described principle of singularity in works to come. By singularity I mean that curves approach straight lines or planes without ever touching them.

Roundism – 10-03-18 The challenge was to create maximum flow but still maintain a recognizable female figure. Therefore I wanted no section crossing another in order to create a feel of weightlessness. I beefed up the tonality a little bit in order to get some more figuration and to avoid that the overall drawing would appear to be shallow. The bubbles and fingers were added in order to relate the spectator to the image and still be able to enjoy abstract body forms.

Roundism – 17-09-18 This is the fourth drawing of model Julia Gómez Alivés in which I combined my roundism with colors. I washed them a little bit with a Sakura water brush that works like a fountain pen. I am not a great watercolorist and since this technique is pretty new to me these watercolor pencils allowed me to take a position between a colored pencil drawing and a watercolour painting. Perhaps I do more in the future. Watercolor pencil drawing (Faber Castell – Albrecht Dührer) on Strathmore Drawing paper (21 x 29.7 x 0.1 cm - A4 format) Artist: Corné Akkers -

Roundism (singularity) - 01-06-17
In this drawing I tried to work out my (artistic) understanding of singularity. I came to see that bending curves to straight structures could symbolize infinity on a piece of paper that is restricted by its very nature.

Sans titre – 30-07-18 I was captured by the high lights at the top and the bottom and decided to keep the planes straight, putting the stress on the rough edged character of the figure. I also didn’t straighten out much of the lines and planes for that reason, keeping it a kind of worked out sketch rather than to refine and soften it too much.

Sans titre - 05-05-17
This one represents Darja Collin, fomer wife of J. Slauerhoff, a great dutch poet and writer of the 1930s. I liked combining circles, rectangulars and triangles in this one.
