Ross-Sutton Gallery, presents Solid to Gas, a solo show by Khari Turner. Turner's paintings and drawings combine abstraction with realistic renderings of Black noses and lips to investigate the spiritual and physical record to his ancestor’s relationship with water. The average body is made up of 60% water, the same water in these ethereal beings that inhabit the work. All the water on this earth is the same water that has always been on this earth. The knowledge water holds is in all of us, and the realization that we share this water is his focus. Turner's work is constantly evolving, absorbing water and history as a material, painting to bring the stories of elegance and chaos that comes with this existence.
