About this work

# Lost And Found This luminous oil painting captures the intimate perspective of viewing the world through a rain-streaked windshield. Thielker's masterful technique transforms water droplets and rivulets into prismatic elements that fragment and refract the landscape beyond. The composition balances crystalline detail in the foreground beads of moisture against the soft, impressionistic blur of the exterior scene. His meticulous layering of translucent glazes creates an atmospheric depth that feels simultaneously immediate and dreamlike, inviting viewers into a meditative moment of travel and introspection. Thielker has established himself as a singular voice in contemporary realism, bringing technical virtuosity to subjects that explore memory, perception, and the poetry of everyday experience. This 2023 work exemplifies his celebrated windshield series, which has captivated collectors and institutions internationally. The substantial scale allows for full immersion in the artist's vision, while the universal subject matter resonates across diverse audiences, making it both an impressive statement piece and an accessible entry point into contemplative contemporary painting.

About Gregory Thielker

Gregory Thielker is an American artist currently based in Geneva, Switzerland, known for hyperrealistic oil paintings that capture the experience of perception itself. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ringling College of Art and Design and his Master of Fine Arts from the University of Pennsylvania.

Thielker's paintings are meticulously rendered, often taking weeks or months to complete, and focus on scenes viewed through obscured or shifting perspectives, most notably roads and landscapes seen through rain-streaked car windows. His series Under the Unminding Sky captures these blurred, in-between moments, using precision technique to convey something closer to memory or mood than a straightforward record of place. Working from personal photographs and direct observation, he is drawn to how the road frames and limits the way landscape is experienced.

His work has taken him around the world, including extended projects in India, Afghanistan, El Salvador, and along the entire length of the US Mexico border. He is a Fulbright Fellow and has completed residencies in Norway, Argentina, and India, among others.

Thielker has exhibited throughout the United States and abroad, with venues including Guy Hepner in New York, Galerie Le Feuvre & Roze in Paris, and Castor Gallery in New York. His work has been featured in Juxtapoz, The Guardian, and La Repubblica.
