The incredible distinction, even on an international assessment, of Tony Tuckson’s abstract work can promote the idea that his figurative paintings and abstract paintings are two distinct bodies of work. This is a misapprehension. Tuckson believed abstraction was the ultimate goal of contemporary painting and that it was necessary to undergo a rigorous apprenticeship to modern art to earn the right to paint in an ‘avant garde’ way. The paintings in this exhibition are all on pulpboard or cardboard. Part of that ‘rigorous apprenticeship’, they cover the seven years 1950 (he left art school in December 1949) to 1956 when, at last, he embraced – or was embraced by – abstraction.’ Geoffrey Legge, Director, Watters Gallery, Sydney.
Tony Tuckson is represented by Watters Gallery, Sydney.

EXPLORATION 11 June 28 – July 16
This year marks the 11th year of Flinders Lane Gallery’s annual exhibition showcasing emerging artists. This year continues the generous support of Pleysier Perkins Architects, who will be sponsoring the $5,000 Pleysier Perkins Acquisitive Art Prize. The prize is being judged by art collector Mr Arthur Roe, arts writer and publisher Ms Susan McCulloch OAM, and Pleysier Perkins Architects.
This annual exhibition supports unsigned artists and recent art school graduates, giving them commercial exposure while offering buyers the chance to purchase works by the promising artists of tomorrow.
