Piers Inkpen is an artist based in Southampton, Hampshire, UK. Piers studied Fine Art at Winchester School of Art and psychoanalytic theory and clinical application at the Institute of Psychoanalysis, London. Piers’ practice explores the process of mourning. Throughout his drawing, painting, and sculpture, lone figures in empty environments quietly contemplate and respond to an unspecified loss. These scenarios repeat and evolve to form short, narrative sequences, with each iteration becoming more haunted than the last. Piers’ working method is appropriately delicate. He creates small-scale works from fine mediums to convey the sensitivity of his subject and the vulnerability associated with such. Audiences engaging with his work are encouraged to view it with care. Piers borrows from psychoanalysis and its understanding of mourning. Piers believes that artmaking is an encounter with loss and that creation is also an act of recreation.
