Artist Comments
After coming across a blue car in the woods over the years, artist David Thelen preserves the scene in this intriguing painting. Barren trees populate the scene while a vibrant carpet of autumn leaves adorns the ground. Branches scatter over the vehicle, hinting at the passage of time and the quiet tale of nature reclaiming its space.
About the Artist
Artist David Thelen was born in Western New York and has been living and working in the Finger Lakes region of the area. His strong family ties to the Catskill area give him a broader perspective on his home. It comes as no surprise that his artwork reflects the daily life and landscapes he sees at home and through his travels across the state. David’s signature approach to the artwork is to paint the canvas solid black, and he paints in the negative space around the darkened areas. He creates his main subject by painting the space around it rather than painting the subject itself. David lives in an old farmhouse that he is slowly renovating one room at a time, so most of his time is shared between painting, renovating, and maintaining.
