Welcome to the “Xpressionizm Experience.”
Xpressionizm describes a new milestone in the evolution of expressionistic art. It builds upon the rich legacy of past art styles such as impressionism, expressionism, surrealism, neo-expressionism, and abstraction. It represents a new frontier of artistic expression aided by today’s digital technology.
In this exhibition, Turner takes you through a brief history of 20 and 21st century art and how the advancement of past artistic styles have led him to his Xpressionizm style of art.
Xpressionizm will be on display July 9-August 3, 2026 with a reception on July 21, 2026 from 7:30-8:30pm.
At the reception, Turner will take patrons on an exclusive visual tour of the exhibition, explaining his innovative art style and the intricacies of his work. Free and open to the public-light refreshments served. RSVP appreciated and is available at downinggross.org.
