Description
Daniel Tierney's paintings come to life through a series of chess moves in which you can sense the young artist feverishly trying to outwit the dead hand of abstract painting and it's surrounding thrones of antecedents and consequents. Here there is no one set of rules but sets of simultaneously existing possibilities that come and go as they please inventing themselves and their enemies without any need for agreement between them.These works are boundlessly ambitious, romantic quests to colonize new pictorial space in the outsized tradition of American post war painting. In these theatrical pictures, the boundaries between abstraction and figuration, real life and the virtual world, are rendered marginalia as the luridly-colored situations liquify and transform like quicksilver from architecture to cinema to sculpture.
