Terrence P. R. Turner
Terrence Turner is a filmmaker and contemporary artist based in Vancouver, Canada.
Turner’s artwork celebrates the wonder and irony of the commonplace. His sculptures are based on drawings of everyday objects, figures and gestures. He infuses his sketches with life by transposing them into sculptures to give them a timeless three dimensionality.
Turner's film and photographic installations also use common markers, such as street signs and retail window displays, in ways that encourage us to rethink how we view the world.
Whether he is seeking to provoke or simply to entertain, the underlying objective of all Turner’s work is to challenge the status quo.
