Jack Pierson's varied oeuvre can be summed up by a single underlying theme: ‘hope.’ Working across documentary photography, video, and sculpture, the American artist has tackled a variety of media and subject matter throughout his practice. Though often infused with bittersweet melancholy or unrequited yearning, Pierson's work is nevertheless fueled by a desire for a better future – and the hope that it will come to pass. — Find this work on view at @ThaddaeusRopac in London in their current summer exhibition featuring highlights from June's #artbaselOVR, on view through July 31. — Shown here: #JackPierson, 'BECAUSE YES' (2020), courtesy of Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac.
