Naudline Pierre: This Is Not All There Is

Naudline Pierre's layered wash drawings and richly-hued paintings create fictional worlds rooted in a mythology of her own making. Aware of the possibility as well as the restriction inherent in narratives of spiritual transcendence, Pierre mobilizes time-honored motifs such as the altar piece and ecclesiastical architecture, creating fantastical scenes of winged creatures and fiery beings. Like color and texture and composition, Pierre deploys religious iconography as a tool for building liminal, multidimensional spaces within her drawings.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition Naudline Pierre: This is Not All There Is, Pierre continues her exploration of imagined worlds, incorporating drawings large and small alongside and within sculptural elements to create an immersive environment.
