wolf thiele - Le Papillon - Der Schmetterling (2012) Sculpture by Wolf Thiele

The works of artist Wolf Thiele are partly strictly geometric and minimalist, partly poetic and complex. They can be classified as abstract geometric constructive painting or as minimal art. Thiele experiments with the effect of colors, shapes, lines and surfaces on each other, with the subjectivity of optical perception.

His works are usually created from simple geometric shapes. He loves the formal austerity and economy of geometry and keeps it with Paul Klee: "Nature can afford to waste, the artist must ... be frugal". Analysis, reduction and variation are important principles of his work, and so digital media are appropriate tools for him to develop sketches, photos and sculptures.

Wolf Thiele lives and works in Gattières, on the Côte d'Azur, in Monaco and in Hamburg. He graduated in drawing and graphic design from the Villa Thiole art school in 2008 and 2013 respectively. One of his works was acquired by the National Museum of Art of China in 2015.
