“I like the idea of entangling nature with a sense of escapism, meditation, surrealism and the sublime.”
-Mathew Tucker
About the Artist
Mathew Tucker
Connecticut based painter Mathew Tucker’s painting and drawing practise focuses on large, surreal landscapes, The practise in Mat’s words: "In recent years my work has focused on re-imaging landscapes as though looking through a window, an opening or a portal….this also plays on a broader metaphor of our internal experience of looking out upon an external, separate, physical world.” Recent awards and features include: The CUE-Aon Artist Empowerment Award 2021 and features in Maake Magazine and ArtMaze.
