Description from the seller
Clemens Briels, born in Son in 1946, is a highly sought-after artist at home and abroad. His artworks are included in various renowned art collections, and he was the first Dutch artist to be elected as Official Olympic Artist for the Winter Games 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, ANTIPODISME: he envisions the opposite of the stereotype, the learned. The viewer is confronted with another, imaginative view of everyday things and is often taken by surprise as a result.
Briels portrays his experiences 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 glaze over the musical tones, compel him to create intriguing paintings.
Clemens Briels' artworks are never bound to a particular time and convey universal themes, cosmopolitan imaginings 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 presenting different images than those we are expected to see. Because stereotypes are learned and not imaginative interpretations of the surrounding things and events, the viewer is confronted with surprises.
Dimensions of framed work: 62 x 56 cm
Dimensions of unframed work: 33 x 29 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. Additionally, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. We also make use of restorers from the industry organization: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to use this service, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
