Criminology professor, musician and painter John Tierney - a Briton - brings to London the blue skies, colour and light of his beloved America. There’s the cool brio of David Hockney and the enigma of Edward Hopper. As though dazzled but not fazed, Tierney’s paintings out-stare the urban and wilderness challenge.

In 2011 Tierney enjoyed success of his first exhibition in LA. with ‘American Light’ at the Paul Smith shop on Melrose. Paul Smith said “The first time I saw John Tierney’s work I was so impressed by his skill.

Like the world Tierney depicts, there’s noir, glamour and brilliance in these images from Los Angeles, New York and the desert.
