Jack Tierney is a contemporary artist based in Redruth, Cornwall. His paintings and prints
are influenced by the bold colours and brushstrokes of fauvist and post-impressionist
painters and the playful, naïve mark making of folk art.
His highly stylised works are recordings of the world around him, his interests and
passions as well as popular culture, iconography and folklore.
His works appear in many private collections and he has exhibited both nationally and internationally.
“I’m interested in making work that feels slightly at odds with itself, sometimes even a bit clunky and awkward. I’ve always been really interested in naïve and folk art.”
