TERRON COOPER SORRELLS – DAMA

Posted on 2022-05-23

Steve Turner is pleased to present Dama, a solo exhibition of new complex and colorful paintings by Chicago-based Terron Cooper Sorrells that convey spirituality, culture and ritual as inspired by three African traditions from Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Mali. These traditions, whether in dance or oral tradition, all relate to the transition from life to the beyond and the endurance of the spirit. Sorrells uses the image of the sky to blend these histories and by conflating them, he aims to emphasize the diversity of the African American experience which brought together enslaved Africans from diverse origins to American plantations where stories, languages and traditions were mixed together. In so doing, he aims to celebrate the past and encourage a new sense of community.

Opposite – Purification, 2022

Exhibition runs through to June 25th, 2022

BIANCA FIELDS – IN MY BAG

Posted on 2022-05-23

Steve Turner is pleased to present In My Bag, a solo exhibition by Kansas City-based Bianca Fields that features new paintings of screaming animals that the artist considers stand-ins for the psyche of her six-year-old self, one who spent hours watching “Tom and Jerry,” an American cartoon that portrayed the rivalry of Tom, the cat and Jerry, the mouse. Tom is the protagonist in many of Fields’s works, and because he barely spoke, Fields imagined his speech, something she continues to do in these works. Fields, working with intense passion along with a well controlled silent concentration, felt as if she was conjuring up her own internal demon. The resulting works have thick flourishes of lustrous colors, accents of copper that mirror the artist’s complexion, as well as scratched lines and text that convey violence and vulnerability, something that Fields routinely experiences as an African American woman.

Opposite – Out of her Bag, 2022

Exhibition runs through to June 25th, 2022

LINUS BILL + ADRIEN HORNI – MIDLIFE PAINTING

Posted on 2022-05-09

There is always more than meets the eye in the work of the artist duo Linus Bill + Adrien Horni (both b. 1982, CH). What is seemingly a conventionally looking abstract painting bears extensive processes of transformation, revaluation, and experimentation that subvert painting itself. Despite their appearance, it could be argued that their works resemble paintings, yet they are not. Rather, they are images in perpetual modification which, among different processes, have been painted on. As a matter of fact, Linus Bill + Adrien Horni do not consider themselves painters: Bill studied photography, while Horni is trained a graphic designer.
Nonetheless, they chose painting as their medium since they first started working together in 2011. In their continuous quest to repurpose and expand their work, Midlife Painting is the result of an intuitive revaluation of existing images in which the circumstance of failure leads to success.
