Solo Exhibition: Transitions

Teaching Associate Professor Scott Turri’s paintings and animations are featured in his solo exhibition Transitions at the Martha Gault Gallery, Slippery Rock University, September 29 – October 30, with an opening reception on Wednesday, October 1, from 5:30 to 7:30.  

Hailing from suburban Philadelphia, where he spent his formative years, Turri now calls Pittsburgh home. Along with his art-making habit, he is also a self-taught drummer, having played, performed, and recorded with several bands during his teenage and early adult years. His drummer’s sensibility permeates his experimental animation process, which relies heavily on intersecting timing patterns of multilayered imagery, resulting in hypnotic cadences that extend and compress time. It makes its presence felt in his paintings as well, where there is often an underlying sense of rhythmic syncopation between the color and form, which acts as the underlying scaffolding for the work. In addition, he has written for New Art Examiner, BOMB Magazine, and Afterimage. Turri also holds a Teaching Associate Professor position in the Studio Arts Department at the University of Pittsburgh. He is currently represented by James Gallery.
