Gregory Thielker

“My most recent paintings and drawings explore the sensation of seeing from a car while driving through the rain. I am fascinated with the constantly changing, yet particular landscapes seen from the car and also the way that the water on the windshield interacts with that landscape. The water creates a shifting lens for the way we see the environment- both highlights and obscures our viewing. Perspectives slip and compress, while shapes and colors merge into one another. I also work with relationships between surface and depth, between flatness and illusion. These works are born out of real experience and have a close relationship with the medium of painting- its fluidity, transparency, and capacity for layering, mixing, and blending. I draw upon a lineage of painters from Caspar David Friedrich to Gerhard Richter.

The paintings themselves are compiled from hundreds of photographs taken while driving in rainstorms with the windshield wipers turned off. While these moments are commonly ignored or deemed a necessary part of reaching our desired destination, they are powerfully charged with weather, light, and color- all experienced at a great velocity. This combination of speed and subdued calm, as the world goes past, creates a kind of transcendental moment that I hope to tap into with the fluidity of the painting medium.”(gregory thielker @ my modern met)

Lora Lamm

Graphic design was much more feeling and crafted back then. Without much formulas, hard rules and combining traditional art like hand drawing graphics or painting with computer technology to ease the working process.

Can I say technology kills it all?

Nowadays, out of ten work I have seen, nine are really bad ones and doesn’t trigger any surprises or can make anyone smile.

Born in Arosa, Switzerland in 1928, Lamm was a major contributor to the Milanese design style of Italy during the 1950s and 1960s. This post-war period in Milan, distinguished by its intellectual and progressive attitudes, booming economy and companies open to new ways of communication, attracted many design figures from Switzerland. Xanti Schawinsky, Max Huber, Carlo Vivarelli, Walter Ballmer, Aldo Calabresi and Bruno Monguzzi (to name a few) all moved to Milan (1933, 1940, 1946, 1946, 1954 and 1961, respectively) and were employed by the influential Studio Boggeri, founded in 1933 by Antonio Boggeri.

Bob Noorda

Bob Noorda (1927–2010) was born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 1927. After serving for the Dutch military in Indonesia in the late 1940s, he returned to Amsterdam to resume his studies at the IvKNO (Instituut voor Kunstnijverheidsonderwijs, now the Gerrit Rietveld Academie), graduating in 1950*. The functionalist education he received, a result of the school’s Bauhaus influence, was a constant presence throughout Noorda’s life as a designer. Noorda did freelance work in Amsterdam until 1954*, when he moved to Milan, Italy where the economic boom and cultural climate translated into innovative design work. Since that time, Noorda has contributed a great deal to the artistic and cultural development of that city. In addition, his body of work – corporate identity, transportation signage and graphic design – has reached far beyond his adopted city of Milan.
