Drawings
The Hague forest – 23-06-15
Part of the roundism series. The Hague Forest (Haagse Bos) is around the corner from where I live.
Rotterdam Overschie – 18-06-15 (sold)
A sketch I did of Rotterdam Overschie, at the river Schie.
Nude – 17-06-15
When I saw this photo for the first time I didn’t know what to think of it. I do not relate to so-called romantic art of ballerinas and dancers striking great poses. Therefor I had to come up with something different and I was intrigued by the pose nevertheless.
Nude – 09-06-15
I wanted to suggest evaporatation and transparency with this pencil drawing.
Nude – 28-05-15 (sold)
A continuation of the roundism series. I particularly like this one because I like the pose and the fluidity that speaks. It’s a kind of zig-zag pattern that appeals to me. It’s with a private collector from the U.S.
Julia Filament – 20-05-15 (sold)
A portrait of my distinguished colleague in art Julai Filament, drawn in Rotterdam, made in a live session at Rotterdam.
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.
Alexandra Moreels – 11-05-15 (sold)
Next to a pastel I did a graphite pencil drawing as a commission. I made her slightly surrealistic with the flow lines hovering over her body.
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.
View on Zyfflich from Devil’s mountain – 04-04-15 (sold)
A realistic pencil drawing that is with a private collector in the U.S. now.
The Hague (Halstraat) – 12-03-15
An impressionistic view on the Halstraat, a small street in the centre of The Hague, Netherlands. I was fascinated by the blocked in light column showing lots of depth in front and back to the church in the background.
Maria Harp – 04-03-15 (sold)
This drawing was a commissioned one, depicting Maria Harp, a dutch-american jazz singer. Although it look cubistic I consider it not to be. Perhaps an extreme styling but the forms remain closed.
Roundism – 02-03-15
Part of the roundism series. I wanted to create a kind of psychedelic effect around the buttocks of the woman.
Sans titre – 05-02-15
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.
Roundism – Bettie Page – 31-01-15 (sold)
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.
