New Zealand born artist Rob Tucker, is a self-confessed Master of Layering Creating thick mantles of graphic, resin and oil paint, allows him to embrace everyday subject matter without contradiction, which he rounds off with surfboard resin for a sculpted, lacquered sheen. Creating images from everyday subjects such as flowers, fruit and tea cups, gives his painting an almost childlike, 2-dimensional perspective; And it's only when you look more closely at the unexpected, stripped back fragments, that you can see the depth beyond the shadows and his work becomes more imaginative and exquisitely detailed. Tucker is obviously fascinated by the relationship between space and shape, and in simply constructing the outline of an object, the formation becomes more abstract and less real. To see more of his work, head to the Rebecca Hossack Gallery from 7th September - 1st October.
