W. TUCKER was born in July of 1959 in Goldsboro, North Carolina. He began drawing and painting in 1986. Tucker’s mixed media works possess a profound duality, highlighting the integral relationship between the base material on which he paints, and the subject depicted on the surface. His works are a palimpsest of found materials, layered with numerous mediums including charcoal, watercolor, graphite, resin, ink, and oil. Created by his non-dominant hand, Tucker’s works acquire an element of innocence and child-like purity, providing a new interpretation of discarded, old materials.
