JACK PIERCE PAINTINGS AT ASTA WINE CAFÉ & ART GALLERY.

New York artist Jack Pierce debuts his new world-culture themed paintings at the unique gallery Asta Wine Café in Huntington, NY on Wednesday April 18th 2007; 6-8pm. The beyond-commonplace wine cafe and art gallery plays host to the artist’s annual offering of wildly designed candy coated canvases.

The pieces are homage to the inescapable symbology and superstition inherent to the human condition. Tempting our subconscious love of the metaphor to take the paintings as our own personal mantras of defiant triumph, humble reflection and ominous foreboding. Both the medium and message speak to the immortality of sincere gesture and the physical presence and power that the medium of painting still holds. See them for yourself at Asta Wine Café.

About The Artist:
Jack Pierce is a painter whose style evolved from a strong background in design combined with a fascination of color’s emotive effects. He studied design and commercial art in undergrad and received an MA in Painting and Studio Process soon thereafter. The pieces he creates are lush painterly environments populated with graphic structures from nature, the built world and juxtaposing ideology. His work is a quest to represent the sublime aspects of the human experience, while visually articulating hyper modern existence.
