Daniel Turner. Born England, 1974. Living and working in Cornwall.
Expressing the confines of the painter’s studio as both vast wilderness and a site of personal rituals, Daniel's work takes an almost taxonomic approach to the study of the genus Painters. In his efforts to define the nature and functions of the painting he assumes the position Painting is somehow separate from the classification Art, a Painter’s approach differing distinctly from those of Artists. With an eye to the history of the medium his use of analogy becomes a critical tool in the development of narratives which often tip into allegory.
Daniel studied Fine Art specialising in painting at Falmouth University in Cornwall UK.
