This Friday's Feature artist is Tucker Nichols!
I love that the world is his canvas – literally!
Besides creating cartographic drawings and paintings on a variety of surfaces, Nichols also does photography and sculptures!
Seeing his work makes me want to draw maps everywhere I go!
From his bio:
Tucker Nichols’ work is simultaneously elegant, low-tech, humorous, and deceptively simple, and usually involves drawing and painting on paper or directly on walls and windows. Common themes include fragments of found text, anonymous buildings, maps without any sense of scale, and other ambiguous remnants of our everyday world. Much of his work borders on abstraction, as if the presented subject has been left behind for so long it is no longer recognizable. Nichols’ work is as much about process as it is about the resulting work.
