PETER TURNBULL
FEATURED ARTIST
30th March to 24th April 2024
“Painting has a responsibility to embrace a quality that transcends known references, and to present new stimuli that encourages, exposes and reveals the perspective of the artist on a sense of place”.
Peter TurnbullThis collection continues Peter’s relationship with the landscape of North Cornwall, and seeks to explore the physical act of painting, whilst unearthing the defining elements of the Cornish landscape and demonstrating the artist’s understanding of English oil painting in both the historical and contemporary sense. Taking the material, scale and location of his subjects as a starting point, Peter allows his work to evolving on the canvas in a way that exploits chance, automatism and the physical qualities of his oil paints.
