Every Turn " Every Turn 3 " by Ralph Mercer

Every Turn is a three-part series of works on textured paper that recall the early 20th century compositions of Giorgio de Chirico, a prominent Italian artist and founder of the scuola metafisica art movement. In Every Turn 1, a distorted perspective of tilted walls and off-balance lines conveys a dreamlike quality. Heightening this effect, a source of light near the top of the structure adds illumination and shadow for a subtle movement that feels three-dimensional. Exquisitely composed from an earth-toned palette of dark sienna, maize, salmon, and brown, Every Turn 1 invites the viewer into a dreamlike space in this original addition to Art by TA.
