ABOUT THE ARTIST –
Roberta Tucci started her career in New York City in the 1980’s. There she was greatly influenced by the Conceptual and Minimalist Art of her mentors at The School of Visual Arts. Later, while studying in Rome in 1987, Roberta developed an interest in aged, distressed Roman frescoes and Etruscan wall paintings. Roberta’s work in encaustic continued until the late 1990’s, when she changed the primary medium of her painting from encaustic on wood to acrylic paint on stretched canvas. The change from wax to acrylic paint allowed her to produce much larger works, layering thin washes of color, glaze and varnish to develop paintings with even more strata of accumulated imagery.
