John Tierney
John lives in Durham City in the north east of England. He is a regular visitor to Los Angeles and most of his work takes as its subject matter the urban landscape of the city and the desert landscape of Joshua Tree National Park - the light in LA and the desert being of particular importance. Furthermore, the architecture of LA is, to put it mildly, seductively eclectic, taking in old and new iconic buildings and a whole range of small-scale, quirky establishments. In addition, some of his work has focused on images of New York and Helsinki, Finland.
Working in oils, the basic aim is quite straightforward: to create paintings that provide a strong sense of place, a feeling of what it is like to be there. A further dimension to this is that he visits these various locations as, in a sense, an ‘outside’ observer, one who is fascinated by the differences between them and the urban and rural landscapes of the UK. In terms of influences, John admires the work of Edward Hopper, Peter Blake and David Hockney.
However, it is only recently that he has been in a position to work as a full-time artist. Until 2010, he worked in higher education as a lecturer and researcher in criminology. Although he continued to paint, the day-to-day (and often night-to-night) demands arising from an academic life severely restricted the amount of time that could be spent developing his art. For much of the time, even being described as a ‘Sunday painter’ would have been over-generous. In 2010, though, John retired from Durham University, which brought with it an opportunity to paint on a full-time basis.
Since then his work his work has attracted an increasingly positive response and a significant amount of media attention. In 2012 he had his first solo exhibition at the British designer Paul Smith’s iconic store in LA. Alongside this, Paul Smith used one of John’s paintings of the store as the image for a limited edition silk scarf. The scarf sold out. His second solo exhibition took place in 2013 at the Horsebox Gallery in London. Each of these exhibitions was highly successful. In December 2013 he won the top prize of Artist of Distinction in the inaugural Joshua Tree National Park art competition.
