I caught the end of the Chris Turner show last weekend, these are a couple of the pieces that were still there. Turner has been working on paintings like these for a while. Working with text and stencils on long horizontal panels, Turner fills his compositions with an overload of content. The larger canvases are more expressive, with looser painting and broader composition. Chris Turner paintings are full of repetition and surprises as well. Turner is also a great sculptor, you can see his work all over Detroit.

Bill and Maria- Good to see the blog staying active; thanks for including Chris' show. If I get a chance, I'd like to send you some photos of the current show by Dave Roberts and Anne Fracassa. Anne's paintings are amazing. Hope all is well!
