On the occasion of our 25th anniversary, the Scene asked 25 of our favorite local artists, painters, designers and printmakers to art up our newspaper boxes and turn them into something uniquely Nashville. Every Monday and Wednesday on Country Life, we'll be highlighting a specific artbox and give you a little insight into each artist's creative practice.
Today's artist is Casey Pierce, whose artbox is dispensing papers at its new location at Jackalope Brewing Company. Look through some other examples of Pierce's work after the jump.
• What was the inspiration behind your box design?
I generally deal with the theme of duality. For my box I considered the simple theme of day and night.
• What materials did you use?
I used acrylic paint and silk screen.
• When you're not making Nashville Scene newspaper boxes, what kind of art do you make?
Lately I've been working on portraits of famous and infamous people.
