Piet Sluis
Dutch artist Piet Sluis was born in 1929 and came to Ireland in the 1950s when he had a distinguished career as a graphic designer. His paintings draw inspiration from jazz music and the artists movement 'Cobra' in the early 1950's. Sluis was an accomplished jazz trumpet player. His decorative paintings in soft colours, juxtapose aspects of Cubism and Post-Impressionism. His imagery is a reaction to structure and presents the solitary vision of the possibility of romance. Sluis exhibited in numerous prestigious group and solo shows. He is also represented in numerous public and private collections.
