CONCRETE KANDY

Huntington, NY.

New York artist Jack Pierce debuts his new urban themed paintings to a world wide audience via the web. The uniquely titled website “jackorilla.com” plays host to “Concrete Kandy”, a solo exhibition based on work the artist composed in Soho, London.

One evening in the spring of 2005 while traveling abroad on business, the artist found himself shuffling through the old world streets of London, where twenty-first century globalization has added a new digital layer of complexity to the culturally and architecturally rich city. The contrast of antique and modern can be found in the show’s shimmering canvases. These paintings are a result of that evening.

“More than anywhere else I’d ever been the old school versus new school in London really creates a new kind of aura in light and atmosphere. There were eight hundred year old structures that are now covered in plasma screens. The light was incredible, I knew there would be great paintings to come out of this”, says Pierce.

As for the paintings themselves, the night comes to life as Venus sparkles like a jewel in the evening sky in the piece “Bringer of Love”. The abundant possibilities of the coming night shine as brilliantly as the city lights in “Get Found” and “The Yellow Raincoat”. Mystery and history peer back from a pair of watching eyes in “The Saint”. The gorgeous architecture itself, illuminated in the twilight becomes the subject of “Soho Pub”. As “Be the Night” embodies the ethereal qualities of the city itself in the persona of a timeless beauty.
