Roundism – 02-03-15
Part of the roundism series. I wanted to create a kind of psychedelic effect around the buttocks of the woman.

I was drawn to the cubistic qualities the model created by posing this way, creating a beautiful rhythym of light and dark planes in her body.
A combination of my love for American pin-up and 1950s celebrity Bettie Page and roundism.
Part of the Sans titre series, being Simone Signoret, French actress active in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
Part of the sans titre series, being Lorett Young. She was an American moviestar and celebrity from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.
The sans titre series continued in 2015 in bigger dimensions (A4). This one is Ginger Rogers, american actress and starring next to Fred Astaire in fabulous dance movies in the 1930s). She is with a private collector now in the United States.
Part of the sans titre series, depicting moviestars and celebrities. This one is Jane Fonda in a slight cubistic way.
The last one I named that way. It’s a prestudy for a pastel that followed. A Tunesian girl Asma that I met on Facebook was the model.
A commission I took to render two people in an angular cubistic style, preserving realism in an impressionistic way.
Part of the roundism series. This look rather art deco-like I think.
I was intrigued by the sunset in a cityscape.
A sort of impressionism, clairobscur meets a slight cubistic edge of thing I think. I like when it contains different ‘isms’.
Another cubistic tribute to Man Ray. This one is with a private collector from the United States.
An early roundism drawing and looking for shapes stemming from the body into the negative space.
A cubistic pencil drawing belonging to the ‘birth of new cubism’ series.
Part of the ‘birth of new cubism’ series. One of the last I think. After this I would drop the name.
Now I found my groove in cubism it was time to put some dutch royalty on paper.
Part of the ’roundism’ series. I liked doing the circular movements in this cubistic drawing.
Continuation of the roundism series and seeing more round curves in objects than before.
Taking it further I pushed ’roundism’ to new heights and heaftier movements. This one depicts Darja Collin, the wife of author and poet Slauerhoff.
A third interpretation of American pin-up and 1950s celebrity Bettie Page in roundish shapes.
Part of the ’roundism’ series and a prestudy for an oil painting I made in December 2014. From now my ‘new cubism’ has been evolved into ’roundism’.
A piece that stands on its own because I found it not to be a part of the ‘birth of new cubism series. In its sort it’s the birth of ’roundism’, sprouting from the ‘birth of new cubism’ series that survived right till this day.
A second ode to pin-up and 1950s’ U.S. celebrity Bettie Page. I’m thinking of cross-overs here – between realism and cubism. Still not there, I think because I think the forms are rather ‘closed’ in spite of the fact that I like the roundish shapes of the musculature on her back.
This is a drawing of a female nude in which I find the tonality and form abstraction to be just like I wanted them to have.
Part of the ‘birth of new cubism’ series. I wanted to capture the movement of the combing that ressonates in the direction of the hair in the direction of the arm holding the hair string.
View on Haaften, Gelderland, Netherlands at the river ‘Waal’, done in impressionistic hatched strokes.
