Reclining nude – 10-11-14

This pastel drawing ‘Reclining Nude – 10-11-14’ grew out of my first model session with my regular model. A curious mix of impressionism and expressionism.

Roundism – 06-10-14 (sold)

A pastel in the roundism series. I think it might be the first one. Looking back I think I was very risky with the colour scheme but I wanted to enforce the jump-like figure. It’s owned now by a private Chinese collector.

Roundism – 30-09-14

Part of the ’roundism’ series.

Roundism – 22-09-14

Continuation of the roundism series and seeing more round curves in objects than before.

Roundism – 10-09-14

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 3rd tribute to Bettie Page – 05-09-14

A third interpretation of American pin-up and 1950s celebrity Bettie Page in roundish shapes.

Roundism – 27-08-14

One of the early drawings that I called ’roundism’.

Roundism – 18-08-14

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’.

Round cubism – 14-08-14 (sold)

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 2nd tribute to Bettie Page – 13-08-14

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.
