Myron Turner
b. 1935, resides in Winnipeg, MB

Turner is a multimedia artist who works with computers and photo-based forms. He explores ways in which one visual form can be mirrored in or transformed into another, suggesting an absence of rigid formal barriers; where form is fluid and embedded in the process. His woodcuts, based on zoomed digital images, continue this exploration. Computer-generated abstractions suggest a universe of algorithmic forces in which the individual disappears. By contrast, modernist abstraction was a strategy for self-expression. Turner’s woodcuts, with their personal calligraphy of cutting, rely upon the tensions between these opposing tendencies.
