Jason Thielke

Jason Thielke is an american artist. I feel that his work relates to what a lot of people in the class are doing. He does portraits using laser etches, acrylic transfer, and drawings. Thielke has an incredible way of rendering the figure using intricate line work and interesting patterns. the figure is made up of contour lines and exploratory lines using no value and minimal color. He interprets the figure in a very interesting way that looks very scientific to me, as if he is relating the body to nature. I really like the use of medium. he does laser etches on wood. and uses different inks and transfers to produce the images. I really like the 3d effect of the etching on wood.
