“There is always room for more detail”

ABOUT

b.1975

Martin Turner's journey from award-winning photography to hyper-realistic pencil drawing is a testament to his versatility and artistic talent. His meticulous attention to detail and mastery of light and texture shine through in each piece, captivating viewers with their incredible realism.

Despite only starting with pencils in 2016, Turner's work exhibits a level of skill and confidence usually seen in seasoned artists. His self-taught approach has allowed him to develop a unique style that is instantly recognizable, with each drawing serving as a standalone masterpiece.

Turner's analogy of his work being akin to reading a novel, with its emphasis on emotion, suspense, and detail, adds depth to his artistry, inviting viewers to engage deeply with each piece.

His appearances on television and radio, along with exhibitions at prestigious venues, further underscore his impact and recognition in the art world.
