About the Show
Pierce's abstract series, 'Horizons,' which commenced in 2022, serves as a visual ode to the expansive landscape of the Pacific Northwest. His recent works showcase a fascinating exploration of different paint application techniques, blurring the lines between traditional representation and abstraction. Pierce's paintings are characterized by bold brushstrokes, a vibrant palette, and a keen focus on color relationships, reflecting his unique blend of approaches.
