Doongalik Studios
recently welcomed the opening of its newest exhibition – Potcakin’, by painter
Trevor Tucker.
Nassau-born
Tucker works as an artist and teacher. In 2012, he expanded his horizons into
the commercial sale of his art with the creation of his business, Trevor Tucker
Original Bahamian Art. Tucker attributes his style to the influence of fellow
artists and artforms, which include stained glass.
Potcakin’ is a
combination of these styles that have helped him to grow as an artist. Living
in a country rich in natural beauty exposes Tucker to a constant source of
inspiration. His preferential focus, therefore, is mainly on nature and
animal-based themes. These images are usually captured with strong
compositions, expressive brush strokes and a bright color palette. Potcakin’ is
an uplifting exhibition highlighting the natural Bahamian environment in many forms.
The exhibition
will be on display at Doongalik Studios on Village Road until Saturday June 6.
Gallery hours are Monday to Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from
9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, contact the gallery at doongalikart@batelnet.bs or telephone the
artist at 424-1878.
