About the Item

Moon Noon (Figurative Painting of Young Woman Reaching to Cloudy Yellow Sky) by Annika Tucksmith 2024 oil on panel 16 x 20 inches, unframed With the occasional exception, the subjects of Tucksmith’s paintings are people; more specifically, her usual protagonists are fair-haired youths, as she models these characters after herself and her younger siblings. "Moon Noon" marks Tucksmith's departure from realism in its imaginative employment of color and painterly liberties. The textural surface of the painting only adds to the robustness of the overall painting, which depicts a young woman reaching toward a celestial body; the ground is dark, whereas the sky is a buoyant yellow. Despite the brightness of the scene, the title implies that this circle in the sky is, in fact, the moon. About the artist: Annika Tucksmith was raised in Chatham, NY on a street with enough children for substantial kickball games. Growing up alongside four siblings in a family of readers, a love of story-telling was nurtured which eventually found its way into artwork. Her painting features surrealistic narratives of the rural landscape she grew up in and has been shown throughout the northeast, most notably at Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY, and The Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield, MA. She has been featured in Architectural Digest, Chronogram, and was highlighted in 30 Artists Under 30 in the Hudson Valley in the Times Union. Annika is the recipient of an Elizabeth Greenshields Grant and the Jacques Parker and Marie Deguard Arts Scholarship, a fund of the Berkshire Taconic Foundation, and is currently pursuing her studio practice as an MFA candidate at Columbia University. A statement from the artist: The Hudson Valley landscape was (and is) a remarkable treasure in my maturation. Wild and, as local legend Washington Irving put it, one of the quietest places in the whole world. Sometimes it is like the back of my hand. Other times, like the back of my head — supposedly connected only for a snarl to be pointed out to me, poking out from my scalp, attached and yet out of peripheral. Painting has allowed me to understand my small woodsy existence in a way that feels familiar, and to explore the line of what “familiar” really means, when there are tangles close enough to grasp, but invariably out of sight.
