All signed by the artist. PIET SLUIS was born in Zwolle, Holland in 1929. He came to Ireland in 1956. He is regarded by many as Ireland's representative of the COBRA movement. This movement entailed an effort to offer a European alternative to New York's abstract expressionist art of the 1950's. Sluis is regarded as having brought the influence of this post war Dutch movement to Ireland. He began to make a mark in Dublin art galleries in the 1960's - a period when he pursued his interest in graphic art, typography & calligraphy. His other passion was jazz music. He has exhibited at the Irish Exhibition of Living Art, the Exhibition of Living Artists, The Exhibition of Dutch Contemporary Art in Ireland. In 1968 he had a one-man show in the Project Art Gallery. He has also exhibited at the Bank of Ireland Exhibition Centre, Caldwell Galleries, Oisin Galleryand others. He has undertaken commercial and graphic art work for The Irish Heart Foundation, GPA, Guinness, National Dairy Council, ESB, RTE and many others.…
