Working with oil painting and large-scale drawing, Judith Tucker explores the affective freight in often- overlooked social histories, personal memory, geography and the meanings of place. Rendering the everyday uncanny through colour and composition, Tucker extends the long tradition of landscape art by her mastery of both colour in oil paint and the textured possibilities of black and white drawing by which she evokes, unsettles, and induces a response both to environment and to precarity of populations on the margins.
Tucker has been awarded the Jackson’s Painting Prize and shortlisted for the Westmorland Landscape Prize exhibition and the New Light Prize. Other exhibition venues include Arthouse1 and Collyer Bristow London and many regional galleries throughout the UK, and further afield in Iasi, Romania, Gdansk, Poland, Brno, Czech Republic, Vienna, Austria, Minneapolis and Virginia USA and Yantai, Nanjing and Tianjin in China.
