Daryll Peirce: a talented guy I met in Miami

Peirce

At Primary Flight, I happened to see Daryll Peirce painting the above mural with The London Police and others. Later that evening, I had the chance to chat with him and see some more of his artwork. Very talented artist IMHO, but have a look and decide for yourself.

I love pieces like these on wood without any background except the wood itself.

Here’s some info from Daryll’s bio:

Focused on exploring the connectivity within humanity and its claims of control over social systems, habitat, nature, and
future, Peirce’s artwork pendulates between the satiric and esoteric, optimistic and pessimistic, scientific and spiritual,
bold and poetic. Grotesquely exaggerated human forms, arterial-botanic city organisms, and flowering interconnected
building clusters currently inhabit his work. On a more intimate level, his influences instinctively stem from his past and
current environments, travel, exploration, skateboarding, surfing, dreaming, philosophy, and interacting with all forms of
the human animal with a focused lens on the social outcast.

This piece was painted for Primary Flight last year, but unfortunately it isn’t there anymore:

Depoe at Primary Flight

One great piece from Primary Flight that I don’t think I’ve mentioned yet is the series of two large silos that Depoe painted. Instead of your typical boring grey silos, Depoe has added a bit of color to the Miami skyline.

And of course, with all that paint dripping down, it creates some some interesting things down on the ground.

Logan Hicks sent out this email last night:

Primary Flight begins!

It’s the eve of the official Primary Flight event and two seasoned veterans of street art took to the streets early. Around midnight Shepard Fairey and Ron English started making their mark on the neighborhood of Wynwood for the Primary Flight event.

Shepard Fairey will be doing his largest mural to date this year for Primary Flight. With a wall that is nearly 20 ft tall, and 200 ft wide, this monster wall will be finished over the next few days. During this night session he was visited by KAWS and Jose Parla who got a sneak peek of what was to come over the next few nights.

Ron English worked into the morning hours doing the prep work on his mural which will be approximately 30ft wide by 15ft tall.

These are only 2 of the nearly 80 artists that will be participating in Primary Flight.

Primary Flight is the art organization which has put on an amazing show of street art at Basil Miami for the past few years. This year, in addition to their outdoor murals, Primary Flight have organized an indoor show as well. Blue Print for Space has an impressive and diverse line-up ranging from Augor and Revok to Know Hope and Stormie Mills. Very excited to see how this goes.
