Description from the seller
Clemens Briels, born in Son in 1946, is a highly sought-after artist at home and abroad. His works are included in a variety of renowned art collections, and he was the first Dutch artist to be elected as Official Olympic Artist for the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002.
Behind Clemens Briels' artworks lies 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, the learned. The viewer is confronted with another, imaginative perspective on everyday things and is often surprised as a result.
Briels imagines the 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 a lightly erotic sauce over the musical tones, compel him to create intriguing paintings.
Clemens Briels' artworks are never bound to a specific time and reflect universal themes, cosmopolitan visions of daily life. Briels translates his experiences in his own way, in his own unique fantasy world. Color is the tool; the story is his message. The artist stimulates the viewer's imagination by showing different images than we are expected to see. Since stereotypes are learned by us rather than imaginative interpretations of the surrounding things and events, the viewer is often confronted with surprises.
Framed dimensions: 62 x 56 cm
