While observing Time one might wonder; Why is the deer walking across the water? What do the shapes symbolize? Why the choice of an Albino deer? Why the choice of color scheme?

Similar to Monet I want the viewer to have room to imagine. For example, the green color scheme is an abstracted forest, and the blue color scheme is an abstracted sky and water. The circles symbolize clocks or planets floating in space, and the warm color scheme symbolizes the deer’s passage in time. The choice of the albino deer as a subject aims to reflect life’s preciousness and the limited time we have alive, as albino deer have rare genetic mutations and are more prone to be prey as they lack natural camouflage.

A. R. Turner is a London-based artist whose work exploresthe beauty, fragility, and energy of the natural world. Drawing inspirationfrom landscapes, wildlife, and plant life, Turner translates direct encounterswith nature into richly textured, surreal oil paintings. His practice combinespainting with photography, architectural drafting, and 3D modelling, creatinglayered works that capture the transient play of light, movement, and life inthe natural environment.

Turner’s painting style is balanced between density anddelicacy, allowing textures and layers to convey the energy and presence of hissubjects. Inspired by nature, he develops themes of resilience, regeneration,and the interconnectedness of living systems, inviting audiences to reflect onthe importance of sustainability. In addition to these core concerns, Turneralso expands into themes of post-conflict regeneration and the synergiescreated across multiple compositions, while delving into the depths of hissubconscious and addressing global environmental challenges.
