For HENZEL STUDIO, Jack Pierson has created three different carpets. The first was released in 2013, and is adapted from one of his automatic drawings, where the drawing strokes have been accentuated through lower pile heights. To expand the ongoing collaboration with Pierson, two additional designs launched in 2018. Here, Pierson re-appropriated pieces from his abstract sculpture series. The first one, based on 'Abstract #12' (2008) is a freeform design with a surface treatment that replicates a worn vintage feel though variable material compositions of wool and silk. For the second design (featured piece), Pierson re-appropriated a component of his sculpture 'Goin' Home' (2011). The connected shapes creates free-form carpet with variable pile heights for dimension and enhanced use of silk to increase contrast.
Pierson’s work is represented in numerous public and private collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Selected exhibitions include Cheim & Read, New York; Xavier Hufkens, Brussels; Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.

About the artist
JACK PIERSON
Jack Pierson works with a variety of media, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, installations and film. Through exploration of celebrity, melodrama and loneliness, Pierson articulates these through an emotional narrative manifesting lost love, sexual longing, faded glamour, fleeting moments, and melancholic and sentimental reflection. His favored subjects are excerpts from his daily life: fragments of urban landscapes, still lives of ordinary objects, homoerotic nudes and evocative words worked into collages or transformed into wall mounted sculptures. Deeply rooted in Americana, the artist seeks to portray the other side of the American Dream, what he calls “the tragedy inherent in the pursuit of glamour”.
