Walk into the gallery and the amazing paintings draw you to
them. The human eye has an existential connection that enables interpretations
of life: a validation of powers not fully understood, but you know it when you
see it. “It” happens to be the amazing oils and watercolors of Dylan Scott
Pierce.
A native of Marietta, Georgia, the still young artist has
won enough recognition that would likely exceed the biographies of other
artists twice his age. The old saw says you can’t contain talent. In Pierce’s
case, his work with subjects ranging from children to elephants and strangers
in a strange land, display a connection between his right brain and the
powerfully interpretative forces of the universe.
A Legacy of Hope is the theme of Mr. Pierce’s exhibition at
Art Station Gallery in Historic Stone Mountain Village, the heralded theatre,
gallery and cabaret adjacent to the giant granite monolith and popular state
park. It is a continuation of his travels across the country exhibiting
his impressive watercolors and oils that depict in great detail wildlife,
portraits of people and scenes of faraway places like Africa.
Dylan Scott Pierce ‘s exhibits total a staggering 40 shows a
year including the International ArtExpo in New York City and the Safari Club
International in Reno, Nevada. He has already won numerous awards including
Best of Show (watercolor), Merit Awards and People's Choice. He regularly
attracts praise from local and national media including National Geographic
Today, Wildlife Art Magazine, QVC, and Teen People Magazine. His award-winning
paintings include the watercolor "Feed My Lambs," that won
1st place and Peoples Choice award in the Portrait Society of Atlanta fall
juried exhibition 2016. Another watercolor, "Beholding," earned the
2017 National Award of Excellence in the Alabama Watercolor Society Exhibition.
This Art Station exhibition is slated to close in mid-May.
Few galleries have works of such magnitude. His paintings serve not only as a
testament to his talent but also confirm the overriding importance of the arts
in Georgia and elsewhere.
