Thomas A. Gieseke's paintings are playful and well-thought out in their insanity, presenting a keen eye for the craft belying psychedelic subject matter.

Gieseke grew up in Overland Park, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City and is completely self-taught. We're enjoying the masterful use of color, composition and understanding of rendering different surfaces in addition to a twisted, playful imagination. Gieseke transferred from being an illustrator to a full time painter in the past decade.
