Pureview Artwork

Reginald Tucker (Artist name R.Tucker) is a mixed-media artist and a trailblazer in both art and finance. Known for his innovative use of repurposed materials, Tucker’s work reflects his commitment to thinking outside the box, a theme that has defined both his personal and professional life. Without formal art training, Tucker embraced the role of an outsider, forging a unique path in both the art world and his career. In his professional life, Tucker has been a key contributor to the development of the Opportunistic Portfolio and a Unique Strategies allocation at two separate large public pension plans, helping to seed and anchor new strategies and platforms that broke away from traditional investment models. This approach of embracing non-conventional strategies mirrors his creative process in the art world, where he continually pushes boundaries by blending repurposed materials with abstract compositions. Tucker founded Recycled Abstract as a platform to explore new artistic forms that fuse the historical significance of past mediums with modern innovations that leverage tech. Through his work, he preserves the communicative power of magazines—once a dominant but now fading medium—capturing snapshots of societal norms and values that are reinterpreted through his abstract 3D collages. These pieces reflect how cultural norms evolve, giving new relevance to discarded materials. Tucker frequently exhibits in Long Beach and Los Angeles, including Culver City, Downtown LA, and Santa Monica, earning recognition for his ability to blend the past with the future. Each piece challenges conventional boundaries, offering new perspectives on art, culture, and the power of the preservation of tradition and transformation of the forgotten.
