Apero Fine Art Catalogue Artist: Imani Pierre ‘Shape’ November 2018

Imani Pierre Biography
Born in Kingston, Jamaica and raised in Maryland - I am a mixed media artist, creating what I feel is intriguing, pleasing to the eye, and therapeutic to the soul. With bold colors and subtle touches of calm tones, I find that my work visually stimulates your gaze and slows down your pace towards peace. My natural tendency as I produce work is to bring a new life to scraps and compliment them with fresh strokes of paint. I often repurpose materials like paper, tape and strings of yarn that I have accumulated over the past 6 years of creating art. As a minimal abstract artist, I like to practice the idea of up-cycling by finding different ways to incorporate reused paper, patterns, shapes or flowers, and clash them with rather chaotic elements. I find it rather stimulating to play along the lines of introducing simplicity to ruckus, and expressing through abstract. My relationship with nature plays a prominent role in my work. I cherish flowers past their prime – “dead” stage, and repurpose it’s life as a portion of my collages. Their delicate, yet sturdy and stable nature compliment a piece as I try to portray appreciation for it’s remained and reclaimed strength and beauty that I see. Alongside that clear resemblance, my choice of colors also capture a lot of influence from nature. From the neutrals in bark to branches, to the vibrancy seen all around in petals, in the sky, in every single thing surrounding us daily. From the warmer hues to the coldest, I think that my influence very much so is transparent with nature. During my personal journey, I hope to retain my pleasure in executing and developing my style in abstract minimalism through mixed media collage, and continue the curiosities of design manipulations on platforms such as wood panels and canvas. I’d also like to retain my self-support and love for my own vision as I continue to simply release my energy and love for making my art.
