Chris Turnham

After doing a bit of screen printing, and after having a better grasp of it, I think I am slowly falling in love with the process. Then I came across the work of Chris Turnham and his work is absolutely mesmerising! After seeing his screen prints I felt like I really needed to do some more screen prints, experiment more with halftones, textures and colours because as you can see from Turnham's work, you can really get beautiful results! I have been staring at his work and try to dissect the different layers to his work but I still can't guess how he's achieved all this! I hope I will have the chance to screen print again and hopefully with practice and time I will gain a better understanding of the process and make beautiful prints!

He's also illustrated some children's books and I love his use of shapes, textures and earthy colours!
