EXHIBITION: Jack Pierson – Marina Karella | “for those of us who know, we know…”
The title of the exhibition comes from a free rendition of the verse “We the initiated—his intimate friends—we the initiated know about whom those lines were written” of the poem “Temethos, Antiochian, A.D. 400” by Constantine Cavafy. This verse reminds us that what is raised as a subject and as the central face of a poem, of an artwork in general, is only an "alibi", in order for the creator to express his personal experiences and feelings.

Pierson's practice embodies an array of media spanning from word-pieces, installations, drawings, paintings and photographs. The artworks exhibited in Zoumboulakis Galleries, especially the word- pieces, are excellent examples of his art.  Pierson first began making his word-sculptures in 1991, utilizing found objects – mismatched letters salvaged from junkyards, old movie marquees, roadside diners, Las Vegas casinos, and other forsaken enterprises. The word sculptures create individual words or phrases that evoke a multiplicity of meanings. Simultaneously, there will be on show a series of drawings on paper under the general title "Antinoos" and five photographs that buoyed the characteristic aura of seduction and charm, a special feature of his pictures.
