The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts is pleased to announce the upcoming opening of the exhibition, The Art of Ezra Tucker, on Thursday July 10 from 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM. The reception will be free to attend. Live music and refreshments will be provided.
In this first traveling exhibition of artworks by groundbreaking artist Ezra Tucker, the untold stories of the Black experience in the history of the American West, including that of the Buffalo Soldiers, are depicted alongside monumental and dramatic paintings of North American wildlife and examples of illustration and narrative.
Ezra Tucker’s wildlife art is characterized by its dynamic composition, unexpected color, lighting, and scale. Its large scale gives a sense of dignity and presence to each creature. His subjects seem alive and animated, ready to step out of two dimensions into a three-dimensional world. A hallmark of his work is his ability to achieve a bold, romantic look by using a color palette and lighting that is familiar yet new. Of his current work, Tucker says, “The challenge I have for myself is to present the beauty and majesty of the natural world to encourage the preservation of wildlife and diversity through my art.”
The exhibition will remain on display through September 7, 2025.
