Delirium Crossing

$40.00

Born in the Waikato in 1943, Barbara Tuck's painterly expedition of five decades has been characterised by restlessness. Her engagement with painting has been driven by travel and wide-ranging reading across art, philosophy, poetry and science. Over the years, she has traversed many forms of expression, format and support, and confronted a range of issues and problems, happily confounding normative definitions of abstraction and representation. Around 2000, Tuck began to unravel a beguiling new painterly terrain that circles a local preoccupation with the subject of 'landscape.' Tuck's oblique revisiting of a painting tradition - brought here along with the contested processes of exploration, settlement, and nation building - became the unexpected basis of a contemporary immersion in painting's perceptual and lyrical possibilities. She has reformulated painting's programme to produce works that are alive to eons of geological time, attuned to histories of human habitation, and attentive to the present environmental crisis.
