Lynne Woods Turner

New Drawings and Paintings

January 6 - February 12, 2022

Greg Kucera Gallery is excited to announce our seventh exhibition by Portland artist Lynne Woods Turner. While the exhibition is evenly distributed between pencil on paper and oil painting, the show primarily focuses on drawing. Whether it be a painted line, a graphite line, a scratched line etched into oil paint, or simply an emphasized edge, drawing is the foundation of the work.

Minimal and subtle, Turner’s works are intimate. They are sensual explorations of form and line by an artist both serious and patient. The artist traveled through much of 2019 and early 2020, and drawing, rather than painting, was a convenient artistic practice during those travels. Upon arriving home, Turner found continuing to concentrate on drawing kept her grounded during the following months of lock-down. Several works in the exhibition are the results of her explorations during that time.

LYNNE WOODS TURNER, an illustrated catalog of work related to the exhibition, with an essay by Sue Taylor, will be available.
