Visual Artist and Art Director Josh Pierce crafts digital experiences that engage viewers in a powerful state of captivating contemplation. His work focuses on surreal and natural themes, evoking a sense of awe and spiritual calm with his sublime use of color and composition. His primary motif juxtaposes natural environments with abstract energy forms to suggest the presence of the beyond in the here and now.
His personal work is inspired by his experiences in spiritual development and explores the motifs of presence, divine connection, nature, and mindfulness. Drawing on influences of landscape painting, surrealism and minimalism, his intention for each piece is to draw one's awareness to the sacred stillness of each present moment.
In the professional realm he has been a motion graphics designer and art director for 15 years living and working in Los Angeles. His clients include the NFL Network where he art directed the TV show, Fantasy Live, and other sports brands such as the 76ers and the Super Bowl. Freelancing he’s worked on film trailers, designed style frames for title sequences, and created concept art. He created the Emmy Award Winning album cover for Mettavolution by Rodrigo y Gabriela, and his work has been licensed by countless musicians for many applications. His work has also been featured in the meditation apps Calm and Moments of Space, been shown in international art shows, and used on the cover of a yearly contemporary art market report. His digital work has been sold by many galleries around the world including Sotheby’s in Paris. He is represented by H+ Creative in LA.
