Description from the seller
Clemens Briels – The Baker from Heusden
In The Baker from Heusden, Clemens Briels transforms an everyday figure into a lively, imaginative character. With striking colors and dynamic forms, he invites the viewer to look beyond the ordinary and discover the poetry in the everyday.
Clemens Briels, born in Son in 1946, is a highly sought-after artist at home and abroad. His artworks are included in several renowned art collections, and he was elected—the first Dutch artist—to be the “Official Olympic Artist” for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
Behind Clemens Briels's artworks lies always a story: small anecdotes from a counter-society. In his own style, Antipodism, he prefers to depict the opposite of the stereotype. In this way he confronts the viewer with a fantastical 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 with frame: 115 x 123 cm
Dimensions without frame: 86 x 95 cm
Viewing is of course possible. In addition we have our own in-house framing shop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. We also use restorers from the trade association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
