Elissa Cristall Gallery presents Bruce Turnbull, Nov 15-Dec 8

Elissa Cristall Gallery on South Granville presents Highballs and Duct Tape, an exhibition of works by Artist Bruce Turnbull, his eighth solo exhibition with the gallery, from November 15 to December 8, 2012.

Stylistically versatile, Turnbull’s series’ differ dramatically; some evoke a whimsy and innocence while others narrate a complex portrayal of humanity and nature. Turnbull has been influenced by folk art tradition and his work reveals the immediacy, honesty, and desire to communicate through sketches.

His new series titled, “Highballs and Duct Tape”, refers to his influences spanning from fine art to comic books and children’s art. His preferred medium of painting, encaustic, fuses layers of oil paints in combination with heated beeswax. His pieces resonate a sculptural quality as the artist is able to carve details and intricacies into the fused layers.
