Our Gallery: The Vision of Tim 

Huhn

17AUG

Dieselpunk Encyclopedia is happy to present: Tim Huhn and his Art Deco Series.

On the Just Looking Gallery website there is a short info about the artist:

After graduating from the prestigious California College of Arts and Crafts with a Bachelors degree in Fine
Arts and Illustration Huhn worked as a commercial illustrator for companies such as Disney, Universal
Studios, Sony & Mattel. After leaving Los Angeles and the commercial world of art, Huhn began to
develop a body of fine art while living on the Central Coast of California. Huhn’s experience as an
illustrator has enabled him to work in a number of mediums and styles including photorealism and art
deco.

Dawn of a New Age by Tim Huhn

We can add something:Tim Huhn’s artwork bears more than a passing resemblance to the famous WPA
murals. It’s fun to see a modern artist who, just like his idealistic forerunners in 1930s, is not afraid of
figurative art. An artist whose creations are full of positive spirit.

Well, not ALL creations: in our postmodernist age, you can’t do without some irony. And (like in 1930s)
you can’t completely ignore the dark side of life.

Rage Against the Machine by Tim Huhn

We know some critics who would happily label Huhn’s Art Deco Series as ‘totalitarian art’. It’s time to ask
them: are you serious? And if you are, why SO serious? Can you name a regime which needs and inspires
such kind of art today, in 2012? And if you can, please explain how this regime can use the art of Tim
Huhn. North Korea doesn’t need him, that’s for sure.

So, let’s celebrate the free choice of a free artist – and enjoy his version of Deco.
