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 ordinary objects can become a fantastical and striking artwork.
Behind Clemens Briels' artworks hides always a story; his works are small anecdotes from a counter-society. Clemens Briels developed his own style, ANTIPODISME: 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 depicts 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 glaze over the musical tones, compel him to create intriguing paintings.
Clemens Briels' artworks are never time-bound and reflect universal themes, cosmopolitan imaginings of daily life. Clemens 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 those we are supposed to see. Because stereotypes are learned by us, not imaginative interpretations of the surrounding things and events, the viewer is often taken by surprise.
Dimensions with frame: 63 x 73 cm
Dimensions without frame: 42 x 50 cm
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framers workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, of course we would be happy to hear from you.
