------------
As an artist, Fon Klement was self-taught. After a short period in which he gained recognition as a figurative painter and woodcutter, the first multi-color graphic prints were produced in 1960 using his characteristic woodcut technique: relief woodcut. Recognizable formal elements gradually gave way to more abstract motifs in a sober color palette. An overview of this work was on display in 1980 at the Museum Van Bommel-Van Dam in Venlo.
In the eighties, vegetative elements, of which form and color are exuberant, made their appearance. In September 1990, new work was exhibited at the Singer Museum in Laren on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. In addition to exhibitions, his oeuvre can be seen at traveling print exhibitions.
Since 1961, he has been a member of Xylon, the international association of woodcutters, which regularly shows printmaking throughout Europe. The exhibition *Prints today in the U.S.A.*, featuring an overview of printmaking by Dutch artists, including Fon Klement, toured the United States for years. During the *Grafiekbiennale Grafiek nu* in Laren in the autumn of 1990, and later at the International Printmaking Biennale in Maastricht, held during the summer of 1993, Fon Klement was awarded the audience prize.
Fon Klement should be counted among the most successful artists of our time.
