THIELKE - THIELKE - THIELKE - KILLIN’ IT.
10.05.07
Last night was Awesome. Jason Thielke and Jeremy Wineberg manhandled Space Gallery. And, that’s no small task. Space is just that, one seriously brilliant and at the same time, massive - space. Jaw-dropping. While we don’t really know Jeremy all that well, we were blown away by his artist prowess and according to Mr. Thielke he’s a great guy and makin’ major art moves. It’s too bad we had to hustle and didn’t get a chance to kick with Jeremy. We’ll be watchin’ his work closely from here on out.
Jason took a turn with his new work and in my opinion it was brilliantly executed. We all know Jason is a brilliant illustrator. That’s sort of a given at this point. While Jason’s illustrative skills continue to grow and evolve it’s his use of color that most blows me away. Thielke is a master of color. He just has a natural knack for it. While some of Jason’s more traditional pallete was evidient, his exploration into rich cyans, deep oranges, burnt reds and purples and lots of lime provided for a striking contrast to his familiar black line work and the natural, truly organic wood backdrop.
While Jason’s latest evolution blew us away it was his return to the “Young Dudes” series that tripped us all up. “Young Dudes” is a continuing series featuring young designers, artists, hipsters & entrepreneurs that happen to be male. About a month ago Thielke asked Lucian, myself, and Lefavor for some pics. We took a quick round of shots and sent them over… not really sure where he was headed. Turns out our good friend, continued source of inspiration, and master artisan glamourized the three of us in lifesize renditions. Can you say flattering… uncomfortable… awkward and totally awesome all at once. Well that’s what it felt like. Thanks man. That shit is rad.
We can’t say enough good things about Jason so we’re gonna wrap this one up. Check out his art, buy a piece, cuz if you don’t do it soon you’re gonna miss the Thielke boat. Homeboy is goin’ places. That’s for sure.
