Product description
Clemens Briels was born in 1946 in Son, Brabant. His works are collector's items for lovers of top design and art. He consciously chooses new challenges, exchanging academic laws regarding perspective and tessellation for his own vision of antipodism. He himself says: "Every person is in search of his own antipode. Some do this by going bungee-jumping, others by cycling in the mountains of Nepal. I do it by spontaneously giving expression to my own concoctions and fantasy, under the motto: "there's no need to look forward, if you can practice your fantasy now!".
Briels grew up in a large family. From an early age he wanted to become an artist. In 1965 he began training at the Academy for Industrial Design in Eindhoven with the goal of becoming an artist. Through various circumstances, he ended up in the world of advertising. He became a successful art director, but at the age of 45 he decided to become an artist for good.
Briels works predominantly with bright colors. In his own words: "I like to paint with bright colors. I don't like those somber canvases. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I am an extrovert."
He gets his inspiration from his own world of experience, along with the impressions he gets everywhere. He deliberately does not want to get "involved" with trends. Briels: "I am used from advertising to work from a commission. To meet strict conditions. That's what I need. I'm not someone who sits down and thinks what will I make next. I am in fact my own client. If I make something, I have to have a certain intention with it. That is also when I am strongest."
In addition to a large number of places in the Netherlands, Briels' work is or has been on display in a wide variety of places off the face of the earth since 1990. On Curaçao and St. Maarten, New York, Stockholm, Antwerp, Hannover, Stuttgart and even in Kuala Lumpur to name but a few locations. Also among his clients are many international corporations such as Leolux, Intercal Telematics, Pfizer Pharmaceutical, Philips and the VSB-Bank.
In 1994, Briels received the prestigious, international Award from the renowned Simpson Paper Company of San Francisco U.S.A. for his book "Antipodism."
For the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Briels created the official painting that was featured on posters and official merchandising.
