Watercolour: Quick on the Draught World Cup '98. Original Artwork By Piet Sluis.

Piet Sluis original artwork. Colourful picture of a supporter holding a pint of Guinness with make-up on. Slogan bottom left and right of the picture read -- Quick on the draught, World cup 98. 28x41cms. Piet Sluis (1929-2008) was born in Holland in 1929. He came to Ireland in the mid 1950's. He is regarded by many as Ireland's own representative of the COBRA Movement. This movement was an effort to offer an alternative to the New York abstract expressionist artists of the 1950's. Sluis brought the influence of this post war Dutch movement to Ireland. He began to make a mark in the Dublin art galleries in the 1960's - a period when he pursued his interest in graphic art, typography & calligraphy. His other passion is jazz music & many of his images reflect this. He has exhibited at the Project Gallery, Bank of Ireland Exhibition Centre, Caldwell Galleries, Oisin Gallery and has undertaken commercial art work for The Irish Heart Foundation, Guinness Peat Aviation, Guinness, ESB and numerous others. After the death of his wife he lost some of his will to live and lived a rather bohemian existence in and around Blackrock, Co. Dublin up to his death in 2008. Very good.
