“Fear Not” (2021) by Naudline Pierre is a fantastical scene engaged with emotion, action, and movement. Here, the artist’s recurring protagonist trudges forward in a mysterious dreamscape as scaled and feathered beings guide her to ascension. Pierre’s use of charged color gradients—washes of cadmium red that seep into lime green—evokes a feeling of movement through indeterminate space. The accessory characters in her purview make direct eye contact with the viewer, inviting them to partake in this emancipatory journey.
