Naudline Pierre
Painter of winged figures and horizonless worlds where devotion, rescue, and tenderness unfold in jewel-toned mythologies.
Naudline Pierre paints alternate worlds — vast, horizonless landscapes where winged figures reach toward each other in acts of intimacy and salvation. The work draws from fantasy, iconography, and personal mythology, rendered in prismatic washes that defy inherited narratives and art-historical precedent.
She situates her alter-ego as protagonist, a vessel for exploring infinite future possibilities grounded in imagination and self-possession. Her compositions reference Renaissance triptychs and forced perspective, reconfiguring formal systems from the past to generate new futures anchored in the present.
Pierre completed residencies at The Studio Museum and has mounted solo exhibitions at The Drawing Center and the Dallas Museum of Art. A survey of her work will travel to two American institutions in 2026. She lives and works in Brooklyn.
