Ken Turner¹s inspiration is drawn from philosophy, technology and the visual image. A transfiguration takes place through an inter-relation of the aesthetic and the conceptual. That is, text as form and meaning as idea is structurally part of the painted image. Even without text the titles of the paintings serve as an important contribution to the content as a whole and the paintings are strongly compelling. Within this process the computer plays a vital part in the intermediate stages: technology as a tool in painting.

Interestingly, Ken is also a performance artist, and sees his video work and performance as part of an interrelation of ideas where one interchanges in the other or, as he would say ' a chaosmosis of ideas and intentions takes place.'
