Joseph Thiebes – City of the Sun
Computer Generated Art
Joseph Thiebes (rhymes with
fetus) is 27 and has experimented with various artistic media since his earliest
memories. He has had formal instruction in watercolor, photography, and
ceramics. His work has been published on the cover of The Thousand Yard Stare, by James Soular, and regularly appears
within the pages of Lion & Serpent,
an occult journal. Many of his works are available to view on the Internet at
Parsifal Gallery & Books: http://www.parsifal.net
"I've always had an affinity for technology and art. My first work as a
digital artist was on a Commodore Vic-20 at age 7. Since then, I've refined my
technique to some degree, and new software has given me a greater range of
possibility, but my motivation remains the same: depicting my explorations of
the marvelous and the depraved at the threshold between aesthetic and logic.
Many of my works draw from the initiatory and symbolic traditions of western
culture. Artists which inspire me include William Blake, A. O. Spare, Salvador
Dali, René Magritte, Jackson Pollock, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Cindy
Sherman."
