Description from the seller
Large-Scale Portrait of Thom Yorke – 120 x 120 cm
A mesmerising and deeply expressive portrait of Thom Yorke, the visionary frontman and creative force behind the iconic British rock band Radiohead.
The face dominates the entire canvas, rendered with remarkable sensitivity and artistic depth. Yorke's distinctive features are captured with great precision — the asymmetric, heavy-lidded eyes that seem to look both at you and through you, the short spiky dark hair with subtle streaks of auburn and purple, and the characteristic soul patch beneath his lips. The overall mood is one of quiet intensity and introspection, perfectly mirroring the emotional complexity of his music.
The palette is cool and contemplative — pale greens, soft whites, and delicate pinks build up the skin tones, set against a serene light blue background. This chromatic restraint gives the work an almost meditative quality, drawing the viewer deep into the subject's inner world.
Like the other works in this British Music Icons series, the style masterfully bridges Photorealism and Expressionism — precise enough to be unmistakably a likeness, yet free and painterly enough to transcend mere representation.

Seller's Story
Korneel Jeuken is a visual artist, cartoonist and illustrator.
Under his alias Jøken, he has been making comic art paintings and drawings with a recognizable character for a number of years. The 'Blockheads' that he paints on the most diverse materials depict crazy characters, but also the need to hide as a creature behind a mask and to take on a new identity.
Jøken calls the work 'New Cubism' because he has always had a fascination for the movement between the spatial and the flat surface. In his earlier work this led to abstract paintings and installations that depicted his inner world in an architectural way. It still plays a role in the current work because the figures in his world are often also built from blocks. Yet he does not want to limit himself to blocks. The making process must remain intuitive. Small sketches created in a stream of consciousness form the basis for paintings on wood, cardboard or canvas. Devils, rabbits, kings and skeletons, often dressed in suits and ties, inhabit the colorful world of Jøken: an apparently cheerful whole of neatly designed madness...
Korneel Jeuken (Venray NL 1975) was educated at the St. Joost Academy and the Piet Zwart Institute and exhibited at home and abroad. He draws current cartoons for the daily newspaper De Gelderlander
