Nude (after Breitner’s photograph)- 22-04-17 (sold)
I was at ‘Rumour in de Stad’ at the Gemeentemuseum where I saw Breinter, Israëls, among others and this drawing is derived from a photograph Breitner took more than a century ago.
18 Variations on the Same Theme
Roundism – 12-02-17 (sold)
This painting is a culmination of all drawing efforts as to the same model pose.
Roundism – 08-09-16 (sold)
Another example of the roundism series, ever continuing. This one is the conclusion of a series of 15 drawings on the same theme.
Roundism – 06-07-16
A second painting in the same roundism series, based on the variations on the same theme drawings. In this one I combined cubistic forms with pointillism.
Gaia – 16-03-16 (sold)
A worked out oil surrealistic painting variation of the last of the ’13 variations on the same theme’ graphite pencil drawing series.
The madonna of The Hague (2015)
This painting is the culmination of the many previous graphite pencil drawings.
Nude – 18-05-15 (sold)
This surrealistic drawing was the cornerstone of this series for now. One drawing and three paintings would follow. The drawing is with a private collector from France now.
Nude – 08-05-15
Variation 11 show a return to straight lines and planes. I wanted to put less stress on the body and more on the planes as a whole – in- and outside the body and communicating.
Nude – 05-05-15 (sold)
Variation nr 10 is an oddball. The flickering and the light bulbs in the joints almost create a kind of stellar constellation.
Nude – 03-05-15 (sold)
Variation nr 9 shows a further development and I felt more and more confident to show more. This one I found it to be a success and a prestudy for The Madonna of The Hague later that year.
Nude – 28-04-15 (sold)
This one already takes on the shape of today’s roundism. By blending / fading graphite I was able to get a very soft look.
Nude – 22-04-15 (sold)
A rather gloomy drawing but I liked doing it. It’s art deco rather than cubism I think.
Nude – 19-04-15
I am not quite satisfied with this variation. It look static. And the tiny strokes contouring her body look daft to me (in retrospective).
Nude – 16-04-15
Variation nr 5 in which I experimented with ball structures – put on the main joints in the human body.
Nude – 10-04-15 (sold)
Variation nr 3 being the roundism version. It’s in the U.S. now with a private collector.
Nude – 06-04-15
After the last graphite pencil drawing I realized something was missing, not the nude of course. That style was realistic or impressionistic, something I am skilled at for a long time now.
