Zucker constructs highly tactile pictures, where the subjects merge into, and emerge from, dense structures of materials. Here, he has soaked canvas strips in Rhoplex, a pigmented acrylic medium, and laid them on a canvas. The image of a burning candle, “drawn” with dark grey strips, is easier to see from a distance.
