Isabel Turban
Abstract painter Isabel Turban grew up traveling between neighboring countries Uruguay and Argentina for much of her life, so much so that the experience nestled itself into each aspect of her art. By first transferring images of maps onto canvas or paper, then applying layers of acrylic and charcoal in gestural strokes, Turban creates detailed images that invite viewers to examine closely and reflect on their own personal histories and travels.
Turban majored in Industrial Design at Centro de Diseño Industrial in Montevideo, Uruguay, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1996. Post-graduation, Turban became active in the local art community and worked alongside fellow Uruguayan artist Carlos Paez Vilaro who ran a well-known atelier, Casapueblo, in Punta del Este. No stranger to travel, Turban decided to move to New York City around 2001 when she enrolled in the Art Students League — an independent art school offering atelier-style studio classes that cover a wide range of artistic mediums.
The Art Students League does not set a curriculum for its instructors and is a place that affords students the opportunity to decide their own path. This structure has appealed to legions of artists over time, and while there, Turban studied with painter Charles Hinman, illustrator Jack Faragasso and installation artist Mariano Del Rosario.
The maps Turban uses in her work owe to travels she has taken and evoke specific cultural experiences for the artist. The Art Students League awarded Turban the Merit Scholarship, the Donn Russell Grant and the Red Dot Distinction.

- Palavra #3By Paulo CanilhasLocated in Brooklyn, NYI am fascinated by the individual’s relationship within society. It is in this context that I exist. Along the beaten path, I allow myself to observe from a multitude of vantage points; towards the recent past or a future yet to occur. This is what inspires me- the creative moment yet to happen, laden with limitless possibilities. When I take a look at the past, I identify social and personal nuances and their direct influence on my work, and then with excitement look for what comes next. In this process I take distance from myself and view with a critical eye. Ever evolving, I search for more. I am neither a painter nor sculptor, much less a photographer or director, but I am a little bit of everything. I don’t feel bound to one specialized art form, and this allows me to navigate free and unencumbered by norms and expectations. My goal is not to achieve perfection in any one area, but rather to explore all disciplines- joyfully challenging myself, provoking and exploring beyond any pre-conceived limits. In my work I try to establish a connection between my reality and the reality of those who dedicate a few minutes of observation. I’m constantly searching for the vanishing point that gives diverse expression to my artistic production. This is the creative fuel that drives me ever forward. Paulo Canilhas...Category
