project: Rose No. 1

The 1st of 9 panels in Tuck’s 2007 artwork, Nueve Rosas. Mixed media (acrylic paints, copper, art glass, metallic pen & metallic powder) on canvas. 16 x 24 in.

(NOTE: titling added for this use only; there is no writing, other than the artist’s signature, on the actual art.)

This is the first of nine panels in Tuck’s 2007 mixed-media series, Nueve Rosas (Nine Roses), which she has dedicated to The Woman with Gynecologic Cancer.

Each floral panel is constructed on canvas, mounted to ¼-inch hardboard, for a particularly striking effect, whether displayed singly or as part of a nine-panel set.

Bold and beautiful, this full-petaled rose blossom is ablaze with rich acrylic pigments, mixed with glass & copper highlights, resulting in a dramatic tableau of color, shape and texture.

Rose #1 (of 9) features copper on the leaf, and at bottom left; and copper powder, mixed with acrylic medium, on the upper right.

COMMISSIONS

See this Rose in a new light, by having the artist re-create it (and/or other rose blooms from her Nueve Rosas) just for you.

Each Rose made by Tuck on commission will be a unique, mixed-media re-creation that will radiate beyond a simple still life. With a true mixed-media composition, you’ll be able to watch the play of light and changing colors (from the glass and copper) throughout the year.

A re-creation of the original concept by the artist also allows for changes and customization not possible with our giclée prints (which are mechanical reproductions from photographs, not artist’s re-creations).

When you commission one or more mixed-media Roses, you will have a chance to interact creatively with Tuck, and have her make Roses to order, especially for you ... and for the women with gynecologic cancer to whom each Rose is dedicated.
