Work of the Week I William Tucker, Volans A, 1970
View through Artsy
William Tucker’s sculpture, Volans A (1970) is made from 2 articulated lengths of painted fibreglass tubing. The painted surface creates a neutral aspect, disavowing the artist’s hand and intertwining sophisticated form with vigorous architectural light and shadow. Volans A marks a shift in his practice that occurred in the late 60s and early 70s. The works became larger and more frontal, Tucker remarked, framing the spectator’s entire visual field with simple balance, yet elegant dynamism.
