Brad Tucker
Standard Tan
Brad Tucker’s exhibition, Standard Tan, includes a collection of wood, fabric, and painted sculptural objects that explore color, texture, and language. Often mimicking tools and utilitarian objects, Tucker’s work plays with the loose ends of craftsmanship at the border between painting and sculpture. Tucker’s experience as an artist, skateboarder, musician, and teacher reveals itself in his work through the use of abstracted shapes, text, and sound elements encountered in his daily life.
Brad Tucker (born 1965, West Covina, CA) earned a BFA from the University of North Texas, Denton (1991) and an MFA from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY (2009). Tucker has exhibited and performed internationally for the past two decades, including solo exhibitions at Inman Gallery, Houston, TX (2015, 2012, and 2009); Re Gallery, Dallas, Texas (2015); Old Jail Art Center, Albany TX (2013); and Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, TX (2011). From 1999-2000 Tucker was an artist resident in the Core Program, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. His work is included in the public collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Menil Collection, Houston; the New Museum, New York, NY; and the Plains Museum, Fargo, ND. Tucker lives and works in Austin, TX. He is represented by Inman Gallery.
