Kingsport’s Circle Gallery spotlight – Dave Turner

Kingsport Cultural Arts is pleased to announce the latest exhibiting artist at The Circle Gallery – Dave Turner.

Turner, a Kingsport native, has spent nearly four decades at the forefront of Nashville’s digital art scene, specializing in lenticular art. Lenticular art employs special lenses to create illusions of depth, motion and transformation – a perfect medium for Tuner’s latest exhibit – “Colors.”

This mesmerizing collection features hypnotic 3-D mandalas and animated kaleidoscopic visuals that morph and change with the view’s perspective.

The Circle Gallery is located on the first floor of Kingsport City Hall (415 Broad Street) and Turner’s exhibit will be on display until September 22. The Circle Gallery was brought to you by Kingsport Cultural Arts.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Turner is a pioneer and recognized authority in lenticular art, transforming still images into experiences that shift, shimmer and come alive as you move past them.

Turner’s fascination with visual storytelling began after graduating from Vanderbilt University, where he launched a multifaceted career as an artist, animator, designer and consultant. His early 3-D work was featured in the world’s first global Macintosh-based training system and his animation for Hard Rock Café received international acclaim.

Away from the digital canvas, Dave embraces a pastoral life. He lives on a farm filled with goats, chickens, and Great Pyrenees dogs and is also a passionate masters swimmer.

To purchase any of the lenticular art pieces in the Circle Gallery, please call Turner at 615-512-8881 or by email at dave@digitaldave.com.
