AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Clemens Briels – The King of the Seas (1992)
In El rei de los mares, Clemens Briels takes you into a world where imagination and the sea mingle. The title, “the king of the seas”, evokes not only a mighty figure, but also the rhythm of waves, the smell of salt, and the endless longing for adventure. Briels’ use of texture and color gives the work not only visual depth, but almost feels like a sound, a song of the ocean itself.
It is a dream-like image of myth and reality that invites you to get lost in your own interpretation of what lies beneath the surface, precisely the surprising experience that his work is about.
Clemens Briels, born in Son in 1946, is a highly sought-after artist both domestically and internationally. His artworks are included in various renowned art collections, and he was the first Dutch artist to be elected as an 'Official Olympic Artist' for the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002.
Behind the artworks of Clemens Briels there is always a story: small anecdotes from a counter-society. In his own style, Antipodism, he prefers to imagine the opposite of the stereotype. In this way he confronts the viewer with a fanciful view of the everyday.
Inspired by his travels to the Orient, the Caribbean, and North and South America, and by Latin American music such as son, mambo, and merengue, Briels creates colorful, dynamic works. His art is timeless and cosmopolitan: color is his medium, the story his message.
Dimensions of the work with frame: 92 x 104 cm
Dimensions of the work without a frame: 60 x 69 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. Additionally, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we collaborate with restorers from the professional organization: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you wish to make use of this service, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
