Michael Turner - Graham Turner

7th Biannual Exhibition

February 22 - 26, 2000 - The Carisbrooke Gallery, London

 

The father - son team of Michael and Graham Turner held their 7th Biannual Exhibition at the Carisbrooke Gallery near Marble Arch in Central London in late February. It was the most impressive of the Turner London Exhibitions yet, with more than 135 pieces of original art, covering the Turners' specialties of motor racing, aviation, military and midieval history, on display along with the full range of Studio 88 prints, greeting cards, calendars, books and collector plates.

 

 

 

 

After greetings from both artists, the Exhibition was officially declared open by former Formula One team owner Ken Tyrrell, a long time Turner collector. Tyrrell graciously loaned several paintings from his private collection to be shown at this year's Exhibition.

 

 

 

 

 

Since each was commissioned to commemorate significant Team Tyrrell victories, Ken took great joy in explaining the story behind each one.

Looking very fit after a stay at the Mayo Clinic last year, Tyrrell was also quite taken by Michael's painting of an RAF Mosquito bomber entitled 'Find the Tirpitz' and the latest Turner original to grace his walls; a portrait montage featuring him surrounded by the significant cars and personalities from his illustrious Grand Prix career. The painting (shown below) was a gift from British American Tobacco, presented at the annual Autosport Awards banquet in December.

Among the racing luminaries in attendance at the Opening were former Tyrrell designer Derek Gardner and Grand Prix legends Tony Brooks and Sir Stirling Moss.
