The mission of Inland Gallery Guild is to provide Guild Artists direct access to friends of Inland Gallery, collectors, corporate clients and other potential buyers for their art.

Inland Gallery Guild Online is pleased to showcase the works of living contemporary artists who, as friends of the Gallery, are invited to exhibit representative samples of their work with direct links to their sites and blogs.

Each member of the Guild is an accomplished artist and is solely responsible to handle inquiries and effect the sale and shipping of their artwork with their customers. All business with Guild artists is made with the artists directly - as they retain full copyright and complete control of their artwork.

We encourage visitors to Inland Gallery to contact Guild artists concerning availability of paintings or to commission works.

Joe Pearce

Joe Pearce, a mid-western contemporary artist, enjoys painting rich tapestries of form and color... with a passion.

His work reflects a subtle combination of straightforward, traditional and representational painting refreshingly reflective and very well thought out - properly executed modern Expressionist values in an older classic style expressing a new way to see; with fresh ideas.

Captured from the styles of Cézanne to Van Gogh to Tarkay, Joe Pearce enjoys incorporating characteristics found in Impressionist & Expressionist paintings with keen visible brush strokes to open composition so as to achieve diversity through the use of soft and hard edges, thick and thin paint, complementary colors, contrasts, glazing and dry brushing.

Torn between what Impressionists argued, that people do not see objects but only the light which they reflect, Joe further evolves Expressionistic values where the expression of inner experience seeks to depict less objective reality in preference to expressing the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in them. This philosophy embraced by many artists has become uniquely characteristic of much Contemporary, Expressionist, and Postmodern art.

Some of Joe Pearce's latest artwork:

"These four 10 inch canvases comprise one expressionistic painting, 'Four Squares of Emotion'. I closed my eyes many times while completing it. I mostly used Sennelier paints, the same brand that Cézanne, Picasso, and others used."
