Flowers by Tucker Nichols

Flowers by Tucker Nichols is a collection of Tuckers work depicting, you guessed it, Flowers. Tucker talked to the inspiration for this series of works, saying the following. "My mother was a competitive flower arranger, among other things. Our house smelled of flowers because there was usually a bucket of them in the kitchen sink. Recently I’ve been thinking about what flowers must look like to bees and other pollinators. To see colors we can’t see, to climb inside these technicolor caverns covered in magic dust. We think flowers are pretty but we don’t know the half of it."

Tucker Nichols is an artist based in Northern California. His work has been featured at the Drawing Center in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Denver Art Museum, Den Frie Museum in Copenhagen, and the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. A show of his sculpture, Almost Everything On The Table, was recently on view at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. He is represented by Gallery 16 in San Francisco.

Nichols's drawings have been published in The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, McSweeney's and the Op-Ed pages of The New York Times.
