John Turner
paint/marker on photographs
August 9-September 7, 2019
Receptions: August 9 • 5–8pm
My interest in photography and art ranges from 20th Century American Folk Art, to the emerging field of outsider photography. Over years of travel, I've taken thousands of photographs and collected hundreds of souvenir postcards. One time, on a visit to Mexico, I came across a hand-tinted colored postcard, which was sentimental in message and visually, somewhat surreal. Using this as an inspiration and coupled with my interests, I began painting on some of my favorite images. What I enjoy about this process is that it gives me a second bite at the apple, rearranging and enhancing the reality captured by our cameras, often resulting in a new emotional tone.

I’m a ReUse artist who’s always been drawn to items that are old, worn, rusted or broken, just waiting to be part of a story that will be interpreted only by the curious observer. I like to mix things up & allow the materials to lead the way. For me, it’s all about celebrating the natural patina that comes with age, and the beauty in imperfection.

November 9-December 8, 2018
Reception: November 9 • 5–8pm
For years I painted in watercolors, mostly representational botanical subject matter. More enjoyable for me to paint and for the viewer to look at are my whimsical and imaginative paintings. I created some of these in watercolor, and have moved to acrylic on canvas almost exclusively.All my work shows my love of color, whimsy, joy, and humor.
