Description from the seller
Clemens Briels, born in Son in 1946, is a highly sought-after artist both at home and abroad. His artworks are included in various renowned art collections, and he was the first Dutch artist elected to be the “Official Olympic Artist” for the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002.
Behind the artworks of Clemens Briels lies always a story; his works are small anecdotes from a contrasting society. Briels developed his own style, ANTIPODISME: he imagines the opposite of the stereotype, the learned. The viewer is confronted with another, fanciful view of everyday things and is often surprised.
Briels imagines experiences he has 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—the music tones drizzled with a light erotic sauce—compel him to create intriguing paintings.
The artworks of Clemens Briels are never bound to time and convey universal themes, cosmopolitan renderings of daily life. Briels translates his experiences in his own way, in his own unique fantasy world. Color is the instrument, the story is his message. The artist nourishes the viewer’s imagination by presenting images different from what we are expected to see. Because stereotypes are learned and not imaginative interpretations of the surrounding things and events, the viewer is left with surprises.
Dimensions with frame: 55 x 50 cm
Dimensions without frame: 28 x 23 cm
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framers, celebrating their 85th anniversary this year. Furthermore we make use of restorers from the professional organization: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
