Darryl Tucker

The type of art that moves me is powerful pieces that showcase lots of lights and darks. I feel like any object placed in the right area giving off the right amount of contrast can become eye catching. I love to pull out strength and power within an object using different colors to
capture the lights and darks. I work with different mediums such as Pencil, Charcoal, Watercolor, Oil, and Acrylic paint. I enjoy painting the traditional way with a brush, but my true passion is fingers on the canvas. Darryl has been invited to multiple art festivals, shows, and exhibits. The most exciting exhibit he has been in is having his work in the State Capitol in Ky. -Darryl Tucker artucksticcreation.com

My paintings explore memory, consumer culture, identity, and resilience through imagined dystopian landscapes rooted in my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Blending acrylic painting with photographic collage, I create fictional worlds where recognizable landmarks, forgotten childhood objects, and symbols of popular culture become fragments of a shared cultural memory. Influenced by surrealism, contemporary figurative painting, and the layered image-making of artists like Robert Rauschenberg, my work asks what remains of us after the systems, places, and possessions that
shaped our lives begin to disappear. At their core, these paintings are about survival… not only of people, but of memory, place, and the stories we continue to carry long after the world around us has changed. -Jamarr Cox Instagram
