Original paintings, screen prints & giclées by Herman Brood

Within this collection, you will discover three important forms of work:

Original work

Unique works created by Herman Brood in which his direct and intuitive working method is fully expressed. Each piece is a powerful and personal statement.

Screen prints

What is a screen print? A screen print is a traditional printing technique where each color is applied individually by hand using a screen. This makes each work unique in appearance.

Our screen prints are produced in limited editions, making Herman Brood's works accessible to a wider audience, while preserving their expression and character.

Giclées (fine art print)

What is a giclée? A Giclée is a high-quality art print created using advanced inkjet technology and pigment inks. These are applied in different color layers onto linen and, just like a painting, stretched on a stretcher frame. This results in deep colors, fine details, and an appearance that is barely distinguishable from the original. Our giclées are only released in a limited edition.

The Appeal of Herman Brood

Herman Brood holds a unique position in Dutch art history. As an artist and musician, he managed to bring different worlds together in a style that is as unpolished as it is recognizable.

His work is characterized by:

• A direct, energetic formal language
  
• Bright colors and high-contrast compositions
  
• Influences from music, pop culture, and nightlife
  
• A strong personal signature
  

These qualities ensure that his art is not only visually appealing but also leaves a lasting impression.

The Artist Behind the Work

Herman Brood (1946–2001) became one of the most iconic artists in the Netherlands. His work often arose from impulse and speed, without extensive preparation. It is precisely this spontaneity that makes his oeuvre so powerful and authentic.

In addition to his career as a musician, he developed a visual language distinguished by simplicity, rhythm, and expression. His works are lively, direct, and unmistakably his own.

Herman Brood in Your Interior

A work by Herman Brood comes into its own best in an environment where it is allowed to speak. Due to their distinctive character, his paintings and screen prints often serve as eye-catchers in a room.

They fit particularly well in:

• Modern and minimalist interiors
  
• Industrial living styles
  
• Offices and creative workspaces
  

The combination of color, line, and energy creates a powerful visual presence.
