A striking group of three unique sculptures by Dutch artist Clemens Briels, created in the 1990s. Each piece is a true one-of-a-kind (unica), embodying Briels’ unmistakable visual language of bold color, expressive form and playful symbolism.
The sculptures present stylized human figures, each with its own distinct personality and rhythm. Through exaggerated facial features, graphic compositions and vibrant color contrasts, Briels transforms the human figure into a dynamic, almost totemic presence. The works balance humor and intensity, combining a naive, almost childlike quality with a strong sculptural identity.
Executed in resin and hand-painted in vivid acrylics, the surfaces are rich and tactile, with every brushstroke contributing to the individuality of each piece. Together, the three sculptures form a lively and harmonious ensemble, yet each stands independently as a collectible artwork.
Highly decorative and increasingly sought-after, especially as a complete group of unique works, this set represents Briels’ contribution to late 20th-century expressive sculpture.
