Bruno Turpin is a self-taught painter living in Paris. Born in Cotentin Island, son of a fisherman, he grew up in the marine atmosphere docks. Naturally familiar with the seafarers and marine world, Bruno has ocean in his gene. He discovered the surf culture during a long stay in California in the 80's. Bruno started his exhibitions in the very early 2000s: Art Gallery, Happening... His artworks have been published in many countries (USA, Japan, France...). Bruno was invited twice (2007 and 2011) to exhibit in the prestigious international show "Who's Next" during the fashion week in Paris.
I paint what I like and that comes from the ocean, my painting is abstract and feeds my Marines visions. Since my childhood I grew up at the seaside in a marine universe, then I became a surfer exploring the coast and waves, contemplating the sea sit on my surfboard. All those years of experience have shaped a vast world of images and sensations that constantly feed my painting. This is an immersive and contemplative painting that leads to meditation. My painting is identical to the vision of a person contemplating the vastness of the ocean. It is an internal experience that begins in this immersion look.
