ROBERT TUCKER

inspired by nature

Robert Tucker is an extraordinary visual artist. I happily own a few of Tucker's collages which are striking--unforgettable, and once you've seen them you will know what I mean. He works with images from the natural world--biology, entomology, geology ( a lot of the 'ogy's ), creating disturbing and funny and somehow still quite beautiful landscapes. Much of his three dimensional work resembles cocoons and these seem to have been born from the physical world without the hand of man.
