Neal William Turner - Warwickshire born, raised, and centred
discovered his artistic flair after suffering a stroke within the last decade.
Before this life-changing event, he had worked tirelessly
in four sectors for ten years at a time:
Construction, Automotive, Education, and Logistics
with craft and dexterity or management/analytics.
There was never much room or opportunity for absolute creativity.
After the health scare it became clear that these roles were beyond him.
As recovery slowly came, the void in thought and memory capacity
was filled with creative shapes, images and words.
Memory was negligible, NOW was imperative.
With the ‘present’ being the main focus, Neal struggled
finding an artistic style he could accept as his own.
As is typical of his condition,
he flits – like a butterfly – between media, this style to that,
which is apparent in his portfolio.
Neal W Turner – BSc (Hons) asks you to browse his works and imagine
the sense of transference from his mind’s-eye to your physical environment.

Favourite objects, people or places warm the soul and can light up a room. The coastline unlocks more 'things' than elsewhere: Skies, Waves, Rocks, Nets, Buoys, Craft, Horizons, Architecture, Sun, Flora, Rust, Gates and Groynes, Etcetera etcetera...
Unable to appreciate classic cars by ownership, painting their shape and detail gives the Neal the chance to apply his style and derive some satisfaction of their existence.
By making something else out of something else gives a different angle on creativity.
Part project, part art.
Peel back the preconceptions...If it appeals, Do it.
Neal is recovering from a health scare that increased creativity at the cost of reduced concentration. Unable to settle to one particular style, his 'coded' works give him an outlet.
The code is for you to work out.
Having seen the best of decades, Neal feels it acceptable to see old images and revive them as new. Whether drastically reviewed or subtly tweaked... they deserve to be regarded as contemporary, even now.
If there is ONE art classification that Neal can fit into...Abstract is IT. Ai follows too many prompts. He uses random acts of application to start. Midway a way may be seen. Finally the totality is clear. Interpretation OR title is another act.
Artistic beauty can be found in the most unlikely places: on the terraces of the lower leagues to the cobbled streets. Interest may be piqued in: Football, fishing, dancing, or just horsing around. If a style or theme gets popular, naturally, more of the same will follow...
Where we are and where we've been can be very emotive. Mapping our journey can be embellished with positivity suggestions just or plain fact.
Your place and statement can make the difference between being or belonging.
OR BOTH.
To gain confidence and credence? Neal is tentatively in the virtual world of fb, Insta, WhatsApp, ad-infinitum. To get grounded he has joined the real community at Art Alert Nuneaton.
With their generosity he is able to join in projects and display work for sale. Like an artist.

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic that encourages people to find beauty in imperfection. My art is for enjoyment, discussion and finding fault. All go hand-in-hand. Wabi-sabi.
Commissions by the artist are undertaken at an irregular frequency. It has to be 'special' and do-able. Honesty on my part to be considered above outcomes.
