BRUNO DAVID GALLERY · SOLO EXHIBITION · 2022
See Beauty Everywhere
The little details that shape humanity.
Exhibition details
October 29–December 17, 2022
Bruno David Gallery · 7513 Forsyth Boulevard · Clayton, Missouri
Opening reception: October 29, 2022 · 5–8 p.m.
Charles Turnell’s first solo exhibition with Bruno David Gallery.
Figures, animals, familiar objects, and cultural forms emerge from dense fields of floral photographs. Seen from a distance, each work reads as a unified image. Look closely, and it opens into many separate details, gathered through travel and observation. That shift in scale carries the exhibition’s central idea: individual lives and experiences remain distinct while shaping a shared human mosaic.
