Christine Turner focuses on the subject of the landscape, as seen through a blurred perspective, one that questions the staticness of vision. In attempting to depict the landscape, Turner considers perceived blindspots that influence the gaze. Turner pulls from her experience of having been legally blind in one eye temporarily as a child. To create compressed and disordered spaces, Turner’s paintings are rendered with translucent pours, repetitive line work, and glops of paint, that accumulate into visual puzzles representative of a psychological or emotional place. Turner received her BFA from Biola University and is an MFA candidate at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
