Jack Pierson

Born in 1960 in Plymouth (USA), he lives and works in New York (USA).

A professional photographer for Vogue, Jack Pierson - whose work in the vein of Nan Goldin or David Armstrong has been shown since the beginning of the 1990s - takes photographs of his familiar and intimate environment - hotel rooms, gardens, friends, meetings - as well as phrase-sculptures that function as catalysts of emotions or paintings with a quasi-impressionist technique due to the enlargement of the frame. The work is developed above all with a view to transmitting the here and now, its poetic charge and its grace. "Some words are frowned upon when describing a work of art: sentimental, romantic, poetic (...). But these are my favourite qualities of anything," says the artist. 

Jack Pierson shows a new set of photographs in Cahors.
