Louis Turpin, Artist

Painter in Oils, on Canvas

I am a British artist producing contemporary figurative paintings. My subjects include landscape, portraiture and gardens and since the mid-eighties I have had succesful shows throughout the UK, and more recently in the USA.

My work has been shown at The Royal Academy, The National Portrait Gallery and The Royal Society of Portrait Painters. As a rule, I have two solo shows a year, and my paintings appear in several group exhibitions.

I have paintings in many public and private collections and am often asked to paint to commission, which I fit in whenever I can between exhibitions.

Exhibitions in 2008:

This year, Louis Turpin has two solo shows: in May at Hybrid, Honiton, Devon and in September at Grapevine Gallery, Norwich.
