About the Item

About his flower painting, leading art critic Roberta Smith writes in The New York Times: "Rendered in enamel on wood panel, these hardy works are essentially abstract, itinerant paintings that vibrate with energy. Their simple shapes and rudimentary drawing recall images of the American limners who roamed colonial and postcolonial New England painting portraits of families and decorating their walls with murals. But the works’ flattened space, dense tactile surfaces, random drips and sharp, solid colors are very much of the moment, as is their boisterous scale. They self-identify as new. Part of the modernity and joy of Mr. Nichols’s paintings is the suggestion that all the elements in a composition are autonomous. The spherical flowers could easily bounce away; the bladelike leaves could launch themselves in one direction or another. The pictures are all temporary arrangements that will scatter as soon as you look away. That they seem eager to do so is part of their strength." While investigating the long tradition of depicting floral still life, Nichols is actively thinking about flowers, art and our reliance on using abstract tools to convey important things we just don’t know how to say. He states: "Flowers are a secret language nobody understands. I’m guessing that over the ages, different flowers have conveyed critical messages among queens and spies and lost lovers. This kind of tulip, that color rose. A certain number of willow branches. No doubt world history has been shaped by these coded messages in ways we will never realize.... And the same flowers can say completely different things. Congratulations. I’m sorry. I love you. I can’t believe you’re gone. Flowers weirdly don’t really mean anything except meaningfulness. And then they’re gone." Tucker Nichols lives and works near San Francisco. He currently has a solo exhibition at the Aldrich Museum, Ridgefield, CT. His work has also been featured at the Drawing Center in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Denver Art Museum, Den Frie Museum in Copenhagen, the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, among many others.
