Bemelmans' work rarely comes to market. Bemelmans is often represented at the PAN in Amsterdam and the TEFAF in Maastricht. Bemelmans is also an artist in the Netherlands with a great many works in public space, in many cities and villages.

When purchased, the work can be picked up in Borne (near Hengelo, Overijssel). The term of this is very generous if the amount is paid in advance.
It can also be sent (registered).

Bemelmans began his training as a goldsmith in 1955 at the City Academy for Applied Arts in Maastricht, where he won the St. Lucas Prize in 1958. From 1960 to 1962 he studied with Professor Ludwig Gies in Cologne at the Kölner Werkschulen and then with Luciano Minguzzi at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan until 1963. His work can be described as abstracted figurative with the classical theme of myths and legends. Fons Bemelmans lives and works in Eijsden. He sometimes signs his work with FB or AB (Alphons WBJ (Fons) Bemelmans).

In addition to many exhibitions in leading galleries and trade fair presentations at TEFAF Maastricht, PAN, Kunstrai and Realisme04 and Realisme05 in Amsterdam, his sculptures were shown in various museums, including Museum Beelden aan Zee in Scheveningen and Museum De Buitenplaats in Eelde.

His works of art can also be found in Geldrop, Geleen, Utrecht, Laren, Heerlen, Den Bosch, Maastricht, Soest, Terneuzen, Zwolle and other cities.
