| David Turner | |
','Image'))
|
David Turner was born in 1968 in a segregated and deprived area of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Growing up he knew the trauma and turbulence of living in a divided community at times on the brink of Civil War. |
| About the Artist | |
Contemporary photographs used in newspapers at a time when the violence was at its worst inspire my paintings of the ‘Troubles’. They were a familiar feature of newspapers throughout ‘the Troubles’ and to me throughout my childhood and adolescence. |
