99 Future Blue-Chip Artists.

KHARI TURNER

Khari Turner’s paintings present vivid renderings of the

mouths, eyes, and hands of Black subjects. Fluid drips of

paint, which obscure or accentuate his disjunct figures,

suggest the various mythological and historical roles

that bodies of water have played in the Black experience.

Turner creates these hybrid figurative/abstract works

using water he collects from oceans, rivers, and other

bodies of water with a strong connection to Black history,

which he mixes with pigments. Kari’s choice of solvent,

combined with the muscular brushwork through which

his rich planes of swirling color and dynamic linework

take form, affords his paintings their intensity and impact.

Turner earned his MFA at Columbia University and

has exhibited in New York and Los Angeles.
