Turner's passion is painting, largely in oil on canvas or board, inspired by landscapes and interiors he experiences through UK and foreign travel. Other interests include music, particularly jazz; hence the John Coltrane-inspired title of this show: ‘Moment’s notice’.
The title of this show describes the capturing of an image, but not the process by which Nicholas develops his paintings. Nicholas often quotes a past Art lecturer who inspired through encouragement to take risks and explore territory unknown. ‘You have to be ready at a ‘moment’s notice’ to react to the unexpected, applying learned skills to create something new and visually explanatory’.
