ARTIST INFO
About
A graduate of the Royal College of Art, London, the artist works in a tradition of painter printmakers who abstract shape and colour to explore subject matter and express human emotion. Objects and places where form is linked to feeling, metaphor and movement or change are explored through celebratory use of colour and line. The vibrant and expressive paintings use drawings made in situ as their source material. Sadie Tierney lives and works in the UK.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
Mountains have a fascination for artists from Ruskin, Turner, Hiroshige. The geological drama, awe and power of inhospitable places, the contrast with low lying habitats where most if the population dwell. "In the mountains, in the snow, I am much more aware of my own mortality and the tiny fragile place I hold in space and time. The mountain series are about awe, fear and vitality." (ST)
Fujisan - A powerful symbol of a nation, sometimes crystal clear at other times lost in haze and fog, symmetrical and timeless -it is as if it has always been there and always will be. "I felt blessed to have seen it at all, and the feelings of awe, transcience and feeling tiny in the enormity of its presence stayed with me and is still informing an ongoing series of work." (ST)
