Description from the seller
Clemens Briels – Dish Dog
Dish Dog is a colorful and playful artwork by Clemens Briels. The dog, built from dishware-like shapes, combines humor with imagination. With its bright colors and clear lines, Briels shows how everyday objects can become a fantastical and striking artwork.
Behind Clemens Briels’ artworks there is always a story; his works are small anecdotes from a counter-society. Briels developed his own style, ANTIPODISM: he prefers to imagine the opposite of the stereotype, of what is learned. The viewer is confronted with another, imaginative perspective on everyday things and is often surprised as a result.
Briels imagines experiences he gained in the Orient, the Caribbean, and North and South America. In addition, traditional Central and South American music is an almost inexhaustible source of inspiration. The Cuban son, mambo, merengue and the souk, with their music tones lightly saturated with erotic undertones, drive him to create intriguing paintings.
Clemens Briels’ artworks are never bound to time and convey universal themes, cosmopolitan imaginings of daily life. Briels translates his experiences in his own way, in his own unique imagined world. Color is the instrument; the story is his message. The artist stimulates the viewer’s imagination by showing other images than those we are expected to see. Because we are conditioned with stereotypes and not with imaginative interpretations of the surrounding things and events, the viewer is confronted with surprises.
Dimensions of the work with frame: 63 x 73 cm
Dimensions of the work without frame: 42 x 50 cm
Viewings are of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, celebrating its 85th anniversary this year. We also work with restorers from the professional association: Restauratoren Nederland. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
