Milagro por Loni (DETAIL)

A self taught artist, Turrell’s work is distinguished not only by his highly textural surfaces, but by his remarkable range of subject matter and materials. Creating imagery that is most often figurative in nature, the artist favors both painting and sculpting equally, often working within the two mediums simultaneously. Terry Turrell’s paintings and sculptures can be found in both private and corporate collections, and since 1989 he has had numerous solo exhibitions throughout the United States and abroad in Paris, France.

TERRY TURRELL BORN: 1946 Spokane, WA 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. His work can easily be defined as the perfect imperfect.

As a self-taught artist, Turrell’s work is distinguished by a remarkable range of subject matter and materials.

He utilizes found materials for both sculpting and painting. The artwork is most often figurative in nature. It is textural with heavily worked surfaces. He favors both painting and sculpting equally and works with the two mediums simultaneously.

Raised in rural northeastern Washington and northern Idaho, Turrell currently resides and works in Seattle, WA. His work has been shown extensively throughout the United States since 1989 SELECTED SOLO EXHIBITIONS 2018 2017 2016 2015
