Wood & Acrylic Sculpture "a Passion That Kills" by Markus Pierson

About the Item

Whimsical acrylic paint on wood sculpture "Passion That Kills" by Markus Pierson, circa 1988. The piece is in very good vintage condition and measures 22" W x 8" D x 22" H. The sculpture is super cool and is signed and numbered 31 / 250 on the reverse. Includes the original brochure from Outwest Gallery. #2274 Markus Pierson was born in 1961 and raised in the small farming town of Grand Ledge, Michigan, where his father owned a popular restaurant. A self-proclaimed reckless “racer”, Markus was the youngest and most challenging of the four Pierson children. The Coyote Series was born in June of 1986, after Markus heard the Joni Mitchell song, “Coyote.” He loved it, played it often and memorized the words. The focus of the song, a guy referred to as “Coyote,” is a reckless, footloose Casanova type fellow – Pierson aspired to be the carefree romancer described in those lyrics. In the decades that followed, Pierson’s work has evolved to include a vast array of paintings, drawings, sculpture, hand-pulled serigraphs and original found-object works. Over time, the metaphor of the Coyote has taken on a more poignant and profound purpose. At its essence, the work urges us to pursue our dreams, wear our hearts on our sleeves, and to celebrate all of life’s ups and downs
