Not only is William Tucker one of the leading figures of British sculpture after Henry Moore but also a draughtsman whose drawings display an extraordinary power of which 'Dreamer' is prime example. Produced from a series of works completed between 1989 and 2004, the dreamer series saw Tucker expand the themes of his sculpture and develop his large charcoal works.

Executed in charcoal, a material which allows the most delicate shades of grey as well as velvety blacks, bodies appear in the drawings which seem to be modelled out of lines and surfaces. The paper used for the charcoal drawings is treated by the artist with the same sensibility as the surfaces of his sculptures; the charcoal assumes a resolute presence somewhere between the rough paper’s flatness and depth. “Sculpture is the language of the physical.” William Tucker remarked once. This observation can also be understood in the light of the drawings: a powerful physicality rings loud and clear from Tucker’s drawings.
