Born in Boston and raised in the rural landscapes of Maine, Turner is an American multidisciplinary artist. His practice spans painting, photography and collage, and explores the relationship between landscape and the human condition. Drawing on a lifelong engagement with horses, the American West, the ocean and the natural world, his work considers memory, scale, belonging and humanity’s place within the landscape.
Homeschooled until fourteen, he later moved to the South of France, where he attended a French lycée and completed the International Baccalaureate in Toulouse, before earning a Bachelor’s degree in Illustration at Parsons School of Design in New York. He works between Europe and the American West, spending time on the Atlantic coast of Portugal and across Wyoming, Montana and Utah.
In 2023, Yves Saint Laurent published State of Nature, a monograph surveying selected works from across his career. His work has also been featured in collaborations with Saint Laurent Rive Droite, Ron Herman, Orlebar Brown, ZARA Man, FWRD and Stetson.
