Lincart Gallery is extremely pleased to present our third solo show with celebrated Bay Area artist Tucker Nichols.

  

The show will feature a site-specific wall drawing, a window installation, and elegant groupings of his signature “note-to-self” drawings. It will also include text-based painted panels that remind us of the absurdity of our advertising-saturated world. The content of Tucker’s work, whether abstracted or representational, is just loose enough to propel us to discover our own personal connections. As co-owner Charles Linder says, “It’s city mouse meets country mouse in this urban provincialist’s menagerie of skylines and trimmed hedges.”

Tucker has been keeping busy. He is currently featured in a group show at

apexart in New York (curated by Dave Eggers), has had a recent solo show at ZieherSmith Gallery (also in New York),

and will soon be concluding six months as artist-in-residence at the de Young museum.

His drawings have been published in McSweeney’s, Zoetrope: All Story, Nieves Books, The THING, and The New York Times. Despite his demanding and rigorous art schedule, he still finds time to raise chickens.

 

Nichols has a BA from Brown University and an MA from Yale, both in the history of Chinese Painting.
