Stephen Tierney STATEMENT “Most recently I have been interested in the influences and the connections that occur through collaborative processes, allowing for new ideas, creative techniques, and ways of thinking to be shared openly. Originally from Sydney, Australia, I have been living in various countries between South East Asia and Latin America since 2011. I’m currently based in Oaxaca, Mexico where I work on my own collage and mixed media art for exhibition internationally, as well as collaborating with local artists on implementing community based creative projects.” BIO Steve Tierney studied design and illustration at Sydney Graphics College, where he was taught and strongly influenced by Australian artist Peter Powditch. As a mixed media artist, he works primarily in the technique of collage, creating floating landscapes where figures interact amongst faces and words, dissected by buildings, machinery and everyday objects in a collage of images cut and pasted from magazines and advertising of the 50’s and 60’s. An obsession with collecting discarded objects has been an on-going inspiration. The connection to urban environment and essentially a critique of social behaviour and interaction is central to his artworks’ meaning. Tierney has held solo and group exhibitions of his art and paintings in Australia, Tokyo, Cambodia and México since 2003. ARTIST CONTACT [click to email] IMAGES
