THE TOP 100 MOST COLLECTIBLE PAINTINGS – THE BLUE X PAINTINGS
"Bierdz marries an innate flair for composition with a compulsion for seriality delivering aesthetically engaging patterned art which is at the same time both primitive and complex. The echoing of shapes illustrate how human events derive into one another. In his unique style, he pushes the language of current spiritual exploration forward, spinning form and content, questioning scale and the creation of each moment, offering innovative and inspiring work on par with Picasso, Van Gogh, Matisse and Warhol,"
