ABOUT THE ARTIST
BIOGRAPHY
Anna Turner was born in Hertfordshire but moved to Leeds in her early twenties where she studied for a BA in Contemporary Art Practice at Leeds Arts University. She is currently studying for an MA in Fine Art through Falmouth University in Cornwall.
Her work is abstract and covers painting, installation and 3-dimensional pieces.
Principally involved in pure abstraction utilising repetition, contrast and harmonies, creating balance with weight of colour and balancing asymmetry. Spaces of clarity and refinement. The work is rooted in pure form and although minimal is not reductive, not started from something more complex.
