The exhibition features a collection of large-scale canvases that capture the interplay between light and shadow, revealing the city’s quiet beauty after dark. Each piece conveys a sense of solitude and introspection, as Thielker expertly translates the atmospheric conditions of night driving into visual poetry. This exploration of nighttime landscapes serves not only as an artistic expression but also as a meditation on the deeper emotional resonance found in solitude and the passage of time.
"For me, driving at night is about becoming lost in time. I love the sound of rain pattering on the car and the rhythmic swish of the wiper blades. In the daytime we are always conscious of the next place to be, but at the end of the day, the pressure eases, and thoughts and memories become more fluid. Making the paintings then is a way to get back to that feeling, while slowly building it on the canvas."1of 16
