Gemeentemuseum 02 (2014)

The second one of the series, turning to abstraction already. Still a lot of atmospheric depth and perspectives.

Gemeentemuseum 01 (2014)

The first of the ‘Gemeentemuseum series’. This one still is in the recondo mode, investigating what I could do with the subject. I had a vague idea of cubism because there’s a lot in it and the building itself is a complex of cubes. A kind of ode to Mondriaan or would that be too corny?

With this pastel I was unfolding my way of cubism with different means than graphite only. This one is in Scotland in the hands of a private collector.

Cubistic nude (06) (2013)

Just like ‘Cubistic nude – 04 (2013)’ this one is featured in a daily dutch television soap although scaled down too small. I liked doing some strong stuff through a complementary mix purple / yellow.

Cubistic nude 05 (2013) (sold)

One I did as a commission. It’s a combination of straight planes and round forms putting the stress on the model’s movements.

Cubistic nude (03) (2013)

A very mild cubistic approach to this one. I wanted to see if a realistic view could be combined with some abstraction.

Cubist nude 02 (2013)

An abstract cubist depiction of a nude figure seen from the back, composed of interlocking geometric facets in red, pink, blue, and green, painted in oil on linen.

This oil painting ‘Cubist Nude 02 (2013) is a study after movement. Inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s ‘nu descendant un escalier No 2’.

Cubistic nude 01 (2013) (sold)

Cubistic nude oil painting

One of the early paintings in a distint different cubist style I was searching for. It was my first sales on Saatchiart and my type of cubism has developed into a variety I call ’roundism’.
