Statement
My paintings pay tribute to the analog workhorse of our past in a world constantly looking for answers in a digital future . By celebrating discarded objects, I emphasize the tension between our obsession with progress and the value of traditional solutions. These functional, everyday items represent an under appreciated working class and highlight the importance of things often taken for granted.
Through my art, I pay homage to the significance of the common man and aim to inspire a greater appreciation for the simple things in life.
Bio
Tucker is a proud son of the Colorado mountains making work from his studio in Brooklyn, NY. He got his start in Los Angeles studying fine art and art history at the Art Center College of Design and Occidental College. After grinding in the Bay Area, he made his way to Brooklyn to create pieces that capture the energy and grit of the city. If nothing else, Tucker believes in early mornings and late studio nights to achieve success. Through his dedication and talent, he's making a name for himself in the competitive art world, and he's not slowing down anytime soon.
