Andrew Thiele

Andrew Thiele is an artist, entrepreneur, and creative director based out of New York City. Thiele's works act as an exploration of the self that becomes a reflection of larger societal questions. With clear abstract expressionist influences, Thiele uses dynamic brushstrokes and color to communicate universal emotions. "I relate my paintings to children," he says. "Just due to the fact that they start very expressive and free, what I love to do more than anything is start painting; you put the brush to the canvas you take a step back after that first session is done and say well what is this really saying." Thiele’s work makes this process clear exploring the passage of time through an amalgamation of paint residue, or division and evolution with highly textured brushstrokes of primary colors.

Most recently, Thiele is recognized in the art world for his large-scale textured paintings. His artistic technique blends mixed media with found objects, experimenting with texture, depth, and collage. He describes his work as "collaged abstractions." He had two solo exhibitions featuring a large body of work and has been in multiple shows such as Scope and Beyond the Street. 

In recent years, he dove into the sports world and collaborated with big brands and was sought out by collectors with the baseball cards he created with Tops and his personal Heritage brand.
