Roundism – 17-03-18

Eroticism and art is as old as the Venus of Millendorf but always has been shunned and embraced at the same time.

Some years back I saw an incredible oil painting by Herman Gouwe of a sunset in cyan, yellow, purple and red and I it baffled me. How could bright shining light ever be portrayed better than this.

The challenge was to create maximum flow but still maintain a recognizable female figure.

Roundism – 20-02-18

This oil painting is the final piece on the series of the pastel and graphite pencil drawing on the same theme. I decided to abstract the female figure even more, reducing the oily reflections on her body to cubist planes, creating rhythym and diction of light and dark tones.

Bettie Page – 17-02-18

Another attempt to capture the essence of American pin-up and model Bettie Page.

Roundism – 19-02-18

In my ever quest for roundism I was attracted to the female body’s position showing diagonals and triangles.

Roundism – 11-02-18

Based on two previous artworks: a pastel called ‘Into the light – 15-06-17’ (impressionistic, surrealsitic) and a graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 04-07-17’. I liked both works and took the colour scheme of the pastel drawing in reds and greens but also used the roundism style of the pencil drawing and combine them.

Recently I saw a picture of a model passing by posing a great triangular shape.

Roundism – 02-02-18 (sold)

Based on a prestudy in pastel (Model – 01-12-18) I made this painting in oil. My objective was to stay in line with the fauvist colour kind of strokes (in case of the pastel they were pretty much ‘broken’ and ‘open’ strokes / patches) but also to get to a more abstract feel by means of rendering the model slighty cubistic.

Roundism – 30-01-18

In line with my previous graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 11-01-18’ I rendered the model figure with such highlighted tones as if the skin was lubed.
