Description:

The work "FLUX" impresses with its rhythmic structure of parallel diagonals in three materials: the velvety black of charcoal, the metallic shine of real copper and the intensity of petrol. This triad is reminiscent of the material experiments of Arte Povera, but through the precise geometric arrangement it develops its own quality, oscillating between order and sensual presence. The diagonal alignment creates a dynamic tension that sets the picture in motion despite its strict composition.

The technical execution of the material transitions is remarkable; despite the geometric rigor, they have a subtle liveliness. This is particularly evident in the slightly irregular edges of the copper strips, which are reminiscent of the tactile quality of Robert Ryman's material art. The use of petrol as a contemporary color accent also creates a spatial depth that elevates the work beyond a purely geometric abstraction.

In the systematic repetition of diagonal stripes and the precise processing of materials, Pierick develops the minimalist tradition into an independent position that combines precise craftsmanship with material sensuality. She succeeds in creating a contemporary interpretation of geometric abstraction that brings the constructivist heritage into a convincing dialogue with contemporary material aesthetics.
