Jason Thielke: “Zero-zero”

On of our favorite artists, Jason Thielke, debuted new work last weekend. His solo show “Zero-zero” opened April 15th at David B. Smith Gallery in Denver. While this batch of paintings still features the sharp, geometric details that he’s known for, he makes you peer through an ethereal haze in order to see them. Choosing to hand draw everything rather than use acrylic transfer or laser cutting has made for a softer, more raw evolution of his work.

Lia Fenix

Brazil has always had an abundance of amazing street artists, and Lia Fenix is no different. Her paintings are amazing, especially her large scale murals. See more of her work on here Flickr Photostream.

New Ryan Weiss / 30 x 30 Art Show

30 x 30 is a fundraiser art show where 30 artists are given 30 canvases and 3 months to complete them.  Here’s the awesome part: If you buy a painting at this show, a hefty portion of the money goes to help kids take lessons at the art center. It’s happening tomorrow, March 26th, from 10am – 2 pm at the Ann Arbor Art Center. (RSVP on Facebook) Our fave Grand Rapids artist and tour guide, Ryan Weiss, cranked out 30 pieces for this show. Here are a few that he sneak previewed:

Mark Sarmel

Ferndale’s upcoming Rust Belt Market recently debuted their snappy new logo, designed by Detroit’s own Mark Sarmel. Mark’s character based illustrations and paintings were a surprise find in his portfolio (I had expected more commercial art). Love his use of negative space and limited color palettes.

Joshua Petker

Joshua Petker began as a street artist in college, but after a trip to Italy he decided to pursue a more traditional path. His female portraits have evolved a lot over the last few years (not that his earlier works aren’t gorgeous, too.) He’s also released some beautiful giclées hand embellished with glitter.
