Description:

In the context of contemporary material art, the work is positioned at an interesting interface: it combines the rigor of geometric abstraction with the sensual quality of the material. The use of copper, one of the oldest metals used by humans, creates a historical dimension of depth that is transported into the present through the modern formal language.

Pierick's work can be read as a reflection on systems of order and their limits. The intersecting lines create fields and structures that, however, never appear completely closed or static. Rather, the interplay of material, light and lines creates a lively image structure that oscillates between control and chance, between industrial precision and material idiosyncrasy.

This work is exemplary of a contemporary art practice that combines traditional geometric abstraction with material-related conceptual art, thereby opening up new aesthetic and content-related perspectives.
