Concept
"For every collection Clem Peltier goes through a entire process of collecting inspiration, thinking, writing and painting. The plan of this book is to give an interested audience an insider’s view into this process, by presenting his works of art together with texts that inspired him and personal thoughts. In this way, Clem Peltier wants to reach an audience that is as large as possible. It is his core belief that art cannot be elitarian, but that its intuitive nature makes it an excellent means of giving people the desire to futher develop and grow.
The subjects of mysticism and anarchy are very dear to Clem Peltier. When asked about what links them together and what their relevance is today, he answers the following: 'Mysticism as well as anarchy are instruments that elevate us above the illusion, above the deceit. They enable us to further develop ourselves and become whole people. To this end, neither one, hesitates to disprove theories and dogmas. Furthermore, they share a message of freedom, sympathy and tolerance.' He adds that he sees the role of his works of art as a starting point for people to engage in critical thinking and question established ideas and values. In his opinion the strength of art is that it creates an environment in which people dare see things differently. This is an essential first step in every improvement process."
