Terry Turrell is an artist of delicate hand using unconventional, often recycled materials to create a beautiful edginess indicative of his Northwest roots. Drawn to art his entire life, Turrell’s innate ability to transform the ordinary or overlooked is as unique as his style. Working intuitively, Turrell creates work that is both innocent and confrontational. Turrell is a self taught artist whose work is distinguished by a remarkable range of subject matter and materials. The paintings and sculptures are worked in layers and images are often drawn or incised with a screwdriver which he favors as much as a brush. A recent series of sculptures include carved heads and figures that hinge open to reveal inner carved and painted scenes. Other assemblages have elements wired together with wrapped and twisted tin to define open work figural forms.
