The Divine Feminine Interventions of Vickie Pierre
Miami-based, Haitian-American multimedia artist Vickie Pierre, displayed her premiere solo museum show “Be My Herald of What’s to Come” at the Boca Raton Museum of Art which will run from now until September 5th.
In this new exhibition, her works cast a feminine deity spell within the Museum gallery. In the installation she created in 2020, titled “Black Flowers Blossom (Hanging Tree),” the artist honors the souls of people lost to racial injustice, including George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and the many others.
Known for her storybook-like installations, Vickie’s artwork appears as reimagined, traditional fables with a beautifully grotesque visual appearance.
“These works proclaim that while we can acknowledge the dark, painful parts of our past, at the same time we can also express hope and light for the future. There is always a sense of melancholy and longing in my work, it comes from the otherworldly state I put myself 00” says Vickie Pierre.
Her creative process is informed and inspired by her memories, fantasies, surrealism, popular culture, and the decorative arts. Also she is best known for her wall installations that blend elements of her Caribbean heritage with contemporary culture.
Vickie has recently been commissioned to create two murals for the museum’s courtyard entrance way, as part of the their new Sculpture Garden.
