Carmen Turyn is an artist specialising in gouache, pastel, and black pen and ink drawings. She has exhibited in South Africa, Italy and the UK as detailed in her CV.
Her work stems from a childhood spent in a small South African town, surrounded by endless landscape punctuated by occasional thorn trees and scattered signs of habitation.
Later, her studies of San Rock Art led to the realisation that the San, as hunter gatherers, understood form through movement. This, in turn, liberated Carmen's own perception of form as detailed in her Artist’s Statement.
