LOS ANGELES, CA.- Regen Projects presents
an
exhibition of new works by New York artist Jack Pierson. Pierson’s
oeuvre is
extraordinary: photography, sculpture, installation, painting,
bookmaking and
drawing. His subject matter and iconography deals with themes of loss,
longing,
faded glamour and nostalgia.
Working with narratives that are
both
familiar and removed, Pierson constructs fiction to explore memory.
Desire
drives the work in whatever shape it takes and that desire is
inextricably
linked to beauty, conventional or unexpected. On view through 17

April.
