Tom Huck

Born Dec 9, 1971

Tom Huck, a.k.a. Hück or Tom Hück, is an American artist best known for his large-scale satirical imagery that lampoons contemporary rural Midwestern culture. His technique and style has been distilled through study and response to centuries of Western Art History, particularly Northern European woodcuts. As described in the journal Art in Print, Huck's "elaborate compositions roil with bawdy images of sex, gluttony and violence, delivered in intricately-carved woodcuts of monumental scale that reference his art historical heroes: printmakers from Master ES to Max Beckmann.". His process is laborious and intricate; some of his works have required years to complete. Throughout his career, Huck has remained independent, finding critical and financial success on his own terms. He works from his "Spiderhole Studio/Evil Prints workshop in the Saint Louis, Missouri area, with a separate gallery downtown called Grafik House. He encourages other artists to attain woodcut mastery through his yearly woodcut "bootcamps" held at the workshop.
