Versatility: That is the operative word that J Pierre has to offer for your needs.   With over twenty years of professional visual art experience, Pierre’s portfolio encompasses corporate and private commissions, public murals, official posters, set design, album covers, and product advertising. While possessing a strong command over mediums such as oil, acrylic, pen, ink, aerosol, and house paint, Pierre’s talents also accommodate commissions of any size. With Pierre’s expansive imagination and his strong attention to detail, he is able to deliver a powerful message to both small and large artworks: such as a ‘5 x 5’ album cover or a sweeping mural that expands up to 70 ft. Though a native of New Orleans, Pierre is a citizen of the world. From the vistas of Paris, towers of New York, and vibrant Technicolor’s of Los Angeles, Pierre has made his mark on the art world. Client’s and their respective commissions include: • Time Warner Entertainment, Essence Magazine (2007 Essence Music Festival, official poster) ?    HBO’s Treme (season two, original artwork) ?    House of Deréon, (clothing line owned by Beyoncé and her mother, Tina Knowles (original paintings)) ?    City of New Orleans, Mayor’s Office (Young Audiences, mural) ?    Fore! Kids Foundation (Fleur de Lis Fore! Kids, public sculpture) ?    Guayakí Yerba Mate (Sustainable Rain Forest campaign, promotional bus wrap) ?    Tremé All-stars (voted by National Geographic as “Best Brass Band Compilation,” album cover) ?    St. Peter Claver Catholic School (seventy-foot mural) ?    Institute for Maximum Human Potential (Los Angeles headquarters, forty-foot mural) • Red Bull Cooler Canvas Series Embedded in each of his strokes, his methodical texturing and juxtaposition of color is vitality. Pierre is a student of human emotion, and he is pressing out buttons, plucking our heartstrings, and playing upon us as if we were a fiddle or pipe. Through all of his hard work and success, Pierre appeared in Gambit’s 2012 ‘Forty Under 40’ edition, which displayed forty New Orleanians under the age of forty that have made significant contributions to the New Orleans area. In addition to the ‘Forty Under 40’ recognition, Pierre has won The National Conference of Artistis’ (NCA) ‘Most Outstanding Artist of the Year’ award and the ‘Sweet Arts Award’ from the Contemporary Arts Center of New Orleans.
