Ocean liners and cargo ships, like the ones whose horns he can hear from his Devonport studio, inspire artist Rob Tucker; so does the exotic vegetation he might find if he boarded one of those ships and travelled to the tropics.
But lately, Tucker, 29, has spent time in colder climates including Berlin for a four-month residency and London for a solo exhibition.
Added to awards and accolades he's already won as well as invitations to exhibit at art fairs around the world, Tucker is getting global attention.
He's also featured in a number of international magazines, including Vogue which picked his work as one of the highlights of the 2015 Outsider Art Fair in New York and described it as looking like large-scale Matisse cut-outs.
