About the Item

charcoal on paper 19.25 x 15 x 1.5 inches each (framed) In the fields of sculpture and drawing, George Thiewes creates sharp, angular work with a focus on the interaction of light and dark. That interest began in the 1990s when Thiewes was working on theatrical set designs, where he had to learn to create the illusion of space through lighting. Thiewes’ sculptures are mounted on or in the wall and painted the same color as the gallery, making them hardly noticeable, except for their cast shadows. The sculptures exist autonomously, while also defining and interacting with the surrounding space. Theiwes explores shadow as a sculptural and drawn medium; specifically how the work changes throughout the course of a day as both natural and artificial light change in intensity, temperature, and direction. The angles created by light and shadow give the appearance of folds, an illusion Thiewes investigates in his drawings. His work is included in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, Smithsonian Institute, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Chrysler Museum, Toledo Museum of Art, Arkansas Art Center, and Rochester Institute of Technology.

Untitled (Triptych 6) : contemporary abstract work of art
Located in New York, NY
Abstract geometric artwork by a contemporary artist Gerald Wolfe. Gerald Wolfe’s wall pieces have a three-dimensional, architectural feel. The artist’s approach to his paintings is intuitive. He meticulously creates his works step by step, imbuing shapes and lines with energy. The interplay of forms, color, and texture creates tension between flatness and depth. His work can become a unique gift and will be a wonderful addition to any space, be it a living room of a modern home or a lobby of a commercial building. Gerald Wolfe received a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from the University of Maryland in 1972, discovered his interest in art and went on to study fine arts at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. In the summer of 1974, he also studied at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. From his first show in 1979, a summer invitational at OK Harris Gallery, Gerald has shown his work on a consistent basis in New York, including such galleries as Denise Bibro Fine Art, NYC, and Kim Foster Gallery, NYC . In addition, he has had solo exhibits at the Paterson Museum in Paterson, New Jersey...
