Homage to Erin Olaf This graphite pencil drawing ‘Neo Deco – 20-09-23’ is a continuation of my recent quest. More than before I long for uniting all styles I invented or employed in the past. I feel my last one of Nina is a clear example of this, even though it also incorporated a homage. To Erwin Olaf that was and unfortunately yesterday he suddenly died at age 64. So, writing this art statement I feel a bit sad. At the same time I am glad I payed tribute to him while he was still alive. He surely invented his own specific style. I hope I will be recognized for my own in the long run. I’ll keep him in mind, striving for perfecting my art. More Realism Back to my regular model. I haven’t planned new live drawing sessions yet so I picked one reference picture out of the box. I kept this one in my ‘to do’ folder because I found the light and dark distribution attractive. A bit unsettled surface distribution maybe but that’s alright now. In my strive for harmonizing styles a more detailly planary approach is something that works for the moment. In earlier drawings in the roundism series I abstracted more. However, lately I feel more attracted to realism and impressionism again. I felt the well simply dried up. Abstracting the female form even more only would have pushed me straight into the abyss of minimalism. Off-Guard, Yes! Perhaps it’s also due to painting ‘Psyche & Amor – 23-05-23’ I fell in love with the anecdotal. Did Alma Tadema influence me too much? Perhaps but Erwin Olaf showed us a narrative can be sound and edgy; not as sweet as Lourens’. Both great artists in mind I keep on looking for new things, I guess. As stated before, combining cubism, roundism, impressionism, realism and surrealism catches many people off-guard I noticed. In the drawing at hand I did my best to give it a realistic feel. However, not much to do with a narrative, only complex forms. The body is abstracted more than meets the eye though. Does that bother you?
