Alan Turner

Tropical Topical

Alan Turner's original etching, "Tropical Topical" is printed upon hand-made, laid paper and with full, deckled margins as published in New York in the small edition of only twenty-five impressions in 1981. It is signed, dated and numbered, by the artist in pencil along the lower margin. In this original work of art, figure and form, in particular their variations are a concern for Turner. It seems that with each step, the camouflaged man will dramatically alter his shape. "Tropical Topical" is a fine, original example of the contemporary art created by the American artist, Alan Turner.
