A series of large-scale abstract paintings by Ken Turner explores how intense colour, rhythm, and process can be orchestrated into moments of visual harmony and resolution.
This year, 64-year-old Ken Turner graduates from the Goldsmiths MFA Fine Art programme, exhibiting his work as part of the Degree Show.
Turner’s ‘Zip Series’ comprises a body of large-scale abstract paintings developed through sustained research into colour, material, and process. Working with bright primary colours alongside vivid oranges, greens, purples, and pinks, he is drawn to the challenge of bringing intensity into balance.
