Tierney Malone

 

Born in Los Angeles, California.  Currently living in Houston.

Tierney Malone is a modern-day storyteller who creates works on paper and mixed media constructions.  He uses the canon of African-American history and pop culture to help him create contemporary tales about life. By invoking colorful and emotionally charged figures from jazz, sports and literature, Malone makes powerful and sensitive works that are both visually beautiful and politically provocative.

Malone is a recipient of the 1997 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, given every two years to promising artists. His work has been exhibited at Diverse Works, Houston; Project Row Houses, Houston; and Robert McClain & Co. His works are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Kansas City Jazz Museum, Kansas City, Missouri.  Malone was most recently commissioned to create the jacket cover for jazz musician Don Byron's new CD.
