Mike Turpie is an Edinburgh based painter working with oil on canvas and other mediums including pastel, watercolour and printmaking techniques. He has work in private and public collections both at home and abroad. He trained at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee and refined his distinctive colourful expressive style as an easel painter influenced by such masters as Cezanne, Gauguin and Georgia O’Keefe.
His working practice gathers information, usually outdoors, through charcoal sketches followed by studio work to develeop a harmony of colour, shape and texture. These elements are gathered from memory and imagination to form a decorative expressive scheme. He describes his work as composition - as a poet or musician would compose a piece to convey a feeling or memory. The exhibition is a collection of Edinburgh-themed compositions forming a poetic interplay of colour, line and shape, featuring imagery which occurs in Mike’s compositions is the relationship of trees and the built environment. He plays around with spatial relationships and perspective distortion.
You can find out more about Mike and his work by visiting his website.
