An awesome friend of mine, Crystal Lyon, a production design graduate student at the Academy of Art is the creator behind the paintings for It's a Joke. Going for the modern abstract feel, these are the ones she created.
Then there were two I asked her to create that were very specific to the script. One of them was as simple as a canvas painted two shade of blue with a black line down the middle dividing it. In the film, this is one of the pieces Piers scoffs at insulting another art-goer at the gallery.
The second one that is also very important to the script is one where Piers sarcastically interprets the art saying, "It's an angry bull charging into the forest of dementia" and that it reminds us of our human, volatile nature. That is the painting below. This one is probably my favorite because it's exactly as I pictured it in my mind. A director's vision come true thanks to the talents of Crystal.
