Clemens Briels - Screen print. Title, "Jenny champion" - Sold

Clemens Briels grew up in a large family. From a young age, he wanted to become an artist. In 1965, he began his studies at the Academy of Industrial Design in Eindhoven with the goal of becoming an artist. Due to various circumstances, he ended up in the advertising world. He rose to the position of successful art director, but at the age of 45, he decided to definitively choose a career as an artist. In a relatively short time, Clemens Briels carved out a unique place for himself in the art world with 'Antipodism,' a concept he himself had created. According to this view, every existence has its opposite. He leads the viewer through the landscape of infinite fantasies, beyond the supposed boundary of our imagination. Briels works predominantly with bright colors. He says of this himself: “I enjoy painting with bright colors. I don't really like those somber canvases. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I am an extroverted person.” Clemens Briels created the official painting for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
