(b 1986United Kingdom. Lives and works in Newquay, Cornwall)
Jack Tierney is influenced by the care free brushwork and bold colours of the 20th century fauvists. 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. His work is the re-interpretation of familiar subjects matters, using form, colour and composition to create paintings that are intentionally slightly at odds with themselves.
