«1969, born in Nijmegen. My work can be seen in many countries all over the world. Corné 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. He states that it’s not the form or the theme that counts but the way planes of certain tonal quality vary and block in the lights. Colours are relatively unimportant and can take on whatever scheme. It’s the tonal quality that is ever present in his work, creating the illusion of depth and mass on a flat 2d-plane. Corné combines figurative work with the search for abstraction because neither in extremo 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 strong 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.»...........More

«Alfredo Chighine was an Italian painter, born in Milan in 1914.In 1945 he studied engraving at the School of Decorative Arts in Monza, and later sculpture at the Brera Academy in Milan. In this period he met Giacomo Manzù and became his pupil.
Chighine’s career is linked to the history of Italian Art Informel, where he represented the naturalistic northern aspect. In his painting, he was particularly focused on creating a sensation of substance and light. In the early period of Art Informel this tendency was expressed in tangles and clots of colour applied with a spatula and infused with light, comparable to the work of Ennio Morlotti. These were landscapes that expressed the continuous variations of nature according to time, days or seasons.
His art developed from the early scratched lines to the bright and vibrant precision of his 1960s paintings. In the final years this evolved into a subtle balance of Chighine’s major concerns: luminosity, surface texture and flowing line.
He died in 1974 in Pisa.»
