Jack Tierney

Born in Milton Keynes, UK in 1986.

​Educated at Loughborough University School of Art and Design.​ Exhibited at the National Open Art Winner's Exhibition, 2015, and his solo exhibitions include Unacquainted, at the KOP Gallery, Bristol and
The Dancing Plague, Taunton Brewhouse in 2019.

​

Jack Tierney currently works out of his studio in Cornwall, having spent the previous ten years based in Bristol.

The subjects of his paintings are the everyday objects, people and events that reflect his surroundings. They might be dogs, a still life with flowers or people on a night out.

​

Tierney is influenced by the care free brushwork and bold colours of the 20th century fauvists, the exploration of form and surface in figurative expressionism, and the unapologetic fun of naïve art. His work is the re-interpretation of familiar subjects in unfamiliar ways, using form, colour and composition to create paintings that are intentionally slightly at odds with themselves.
