Untitled (Sunset)
2014
Jack Pierson 's signed limited edition print Untitled (Sunset) from 2014 exemplifies the artist's poetic approach to image-making and his enduring exploration of desire, memory, and transience. The artwork depicts a silhouetted figure stretching against a glowing sunset horizon, rendered in saturated gradients of yellow, orange, and deep blue. The body dissolves into light and color, suspended between presence and disappearance, evoking a moment that feels both intimate and universal. Produced using a complex, experimental process, this fine art print combines archival pigment printing with screen print and glass flock on firm paper. The addition of glass flock creates a shimmering, tactile surface that catches light and subtly shifts with the viewer's movement, blurring distinctions between photography , painting, and printmaking. This layered materiality reinforces Pierson's interest in sensuality and surface, while elevating the image beyond a purely photographic register. The figure's identity and gender remain deliberately ambiguous, a recurring strategy in Pierson's work that allows viewers to project their own narratives onto the scene. Themes of beach life, solitude, longing, and fleeting beauty recur throughout his oeuvre, and this image has been described by the artist as an iconic subject within his practice. Produced in Brooklyn, New York, the edition reflects Pierson's willingness to experiment technically, particularly through the unusual use of glass flock across multiple printing processes. Issued in a rare edition of only 25, each print is hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
