AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

“El Dialogo” is a work by Clemens Briels.. The title El Dialogo literally means “The Dialogue” and refers to the central theme of the work: the encounter and interaction between forms, colors and meanings.

The artwork is part of Briels’ broader oeuvre, in which he applies his characteristic Antipodism style. Within this imaginative and expressive visual language, oppositions and visual dialogues play an important role. Through the interplay of strong color contrasts, dynamic compositions and playful figurative elements, a lively whole emerges that invites the viewer to interpretation.

As is often the case in his oeuvre, he combines figurative elements with almost theatrical intensity. The work invites the viewer to pause and reflect on the relationship between life, time and decay, but does so with the energy and visual power that are typical of Briels’ art.

Clemens Briels, born in Son in 1946, is a highly sought-after artist both at home and abroad. His works are included in several renowned art collections and he was elected as the first Dutch artist to be Official Olympic Artist for the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002.

Behind Clemens Briels’ artworks lies always a story: small anecdotes from a contrasting society. In his own style, the Antipodism, he prefers to portray the opposite of the stereotype. Thus he confronts the viewer with a fantastical look at the everyday.

Inspired by his travels to the Orient, the Caribbean and North and South America, and by Latin American music such as son, mambo and merengue, Briels creates colorful, dynamic works. His art is timeless and cosmopolitan: color is his medium, the story his message.

Dimensions of the work without frame: 55 x 72 cm

Viewing is of course possible. In addition we have our own in-house framers, celebrating their 85th anniversary. 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 love to hear from you.
