Roundism 01-07-16 — Corné Akkers | Canvas Print | Biomorphic Abstract Fine Art

Form in motion. Mass without weight. Gravity without a horizon.

Corné Akkers’ Roundism 01-07-16 is the Roundism movement at its most kinetic — large overlapping circular disc forms and sweeping curved bands that tumble through the composition with the energy of rolling planetary bodies, held in equilibrium by the precision of Akkers’ pencil and the extraordinary tonal intelligence of the graphite alone. Where other works in the series tend toward stillness, 01-07-16 moves. The diagonal thrust through the composition creates a sense of arrested momentum that makes the piece almost impossible to look at passively.

Rendered entirely in graphite pencil on white, the tonal range is exceptional: deep charcoal in the tight concave junctions between the disc forms, brilliant white on the convex faces, and every gradation between rendered with the kind of control that only decades of mastery produces. The artist’s signature sits quietly at the bottom right — a reminder that this is a hand-drawn original, not a digital composition.

Printed on archival-grade premium canvas with a precision varnish finish that preserves the complete graphite tonal range with exceptional fidelity. Like all Sunshine Canvas originals, it is built to hold its value over time — the UV-resistant varnish, archival canvas and handcrafted finishing process ensure this piece remains as powerful in twenty years as it is today. Available in two sizes and two finishes.

About Corné Akkers & Roundism

Corné Akkers is a Dutch artist who founded the Roundism movement — a rigorous artistic philosophy built on the complete rejection of the straight line and angle in favour of unbroken curved and circular forms. Developed since the 1980s, Roundism has produced a body of work that bridges classical European draftsmanship and contemporary abstraction, earning Akkers an international following among collectors of serious contemporary art. His graphite works are collected worldwide for their technical mastery and meditative depth.

Why It Holds Its Value

Works by established artists with a coherent and documented artistic philosophy — particularly those who founded their own named movement — hold and grow in value in ways that purely decorative art does not. Akkers’ Roundism series is internationally recognised and collected. The archival canvas and UV-resistant varnish protect against fading, warping and surface degradation for decades. A genuinely collectible work for a genuinely discerning buyer.
