Pierce's paintings provide those unexpected rare glimpses of things beyond ....
whether spied through a gap in the rocks or in the mountains or in the storm clouds, or a glimpse of cattle seen for an instant from a fast-moving train ... things which I may have seen a thousand times but never registered ... never allowed to become part of my own experience ... Like those wonderful ideas you get in the middle of the night and can't remember in the morning.
Wesley Burrows - at the opening of Pierce's one man show in Dublin
