Gary Turner is a multi-disciplined artist with an extensive portfolio. He balances his workshop time at Project Ability between printmaking, mask making, ceramics, drawing and painting. Gary uses his knowledge and love of contemporary comic and zine culture, fantasy sci-fi and animals from the natural world to inspire his work. Gary’s paintings often have a romantic feel to them. His recent introduction to oil painting has seen his work develop a softness, transforming animal, plant, people and places into gentle, captivating beings and other worldly existences. Wolves and Japanese inspired landscapes are regular themes in his work taking inspiration from Katsushika Hokusai Japanese woodblock prints.
