Corné Akkers employs a variety of styles that all have one thing in common: the ever search for the light on phenomena and all the shadows and light planes they block in. His favorites in doing so are oil paint, dry pastel and graphite pencil. It is not the form or the theme that counts but the way planes of certain tonal quality vary and block in the lights. Corné combines figurative work with the search for abstraction. He thinks neither of them individually can provide the desired art statement the public expects from an artist. Besides all that, exaggeration and deviation is the standard and results in a typical use of a balanced colour scheme and a hugh tonal bandwith, in order to create art that, when the canvas or paper would be torn into pieces, in essence still would be recognizable. The result is a combination of styled cubist, impressionist and/or surrealist figuration with attention to a sound atmospheric depth and feel for composition, anatomy and tonal rhythym.
