Rex Turnbull Biography

 

Artist statement:  'My practice is located in Rosebery, Sydney. I am a story teller. My work reflects social and political attitudes both negative and positive. Each work has a narrative. 

This narrative is for the artist to know and for an audience to discover or interpret. The titles are often suggestive to give the viewer a starting point from which to begin. I understand that art is subjective and what appeals to one may not appeal to another. Similarly – the interpretation of the ‘visual’ can be totally different from one person to another. 

I am happy that people may see something quite different to what was intended. To provide a platform for discussion is important. I am a realist - as are my works.'
 Rex Turnbull studied graphic design at Wellington Polytechnic School of Design (Massey University). He has exhibited extensively throughout New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Germany, UK and Switzerland. He has been a finalist in numerous national awards and was the winner of the Kelliher Award in Dunedin, NZ. In 2007 he was made a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, London. His works are in private and public collections in Australia, USA, UK, Greece, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and New Zealand.
