Joyce Turner
British, 20th Century artist Joyce Turner 'Blue Green Abstract' painting

About the Item

Joyce Turner (British, 1920-2020) Blue green abstract Oil on board Signed `J. TURNER’ (lower left) 24 x 20 in. (61 x 50.8 cm.) Joyce Turner was an abstract artist who painted up until her death at the age of 100. Her earliest artistic discipline came from the intricate drawings required of her as an Admiralty illustrator during WW2. After the war, her work evolved into abstraction and she studied further at the City Institute in London. She had a number of exhibitions, including a major retrospective at Guildford House Gallery in Surrey, one-woman shows in Manchester and Leatherhead, a shared show at the Metropole Arts Centre in Folkestone, and participation in London exhibitions at the Barbican, Conway Hall and Guildhall Gallery. She was also invited to exhibit 24 works on the Saatchi online gallery. Blindness was her greatest dread, and as she became older glaucoma affected her vision. Life without colour would have been unbearable.

"Abstract Composition 3" Abstract Oil Painting 24" x 18" inch by Youssef Sida Signed and dated 1990 Youssef Sida 1922-1994 Born in 1922 in Damietta, and in 1945 he got his degree from the Higher Institute of Educational Art. In 1947, he participated in establishing the influential Group of Modern Art. In 1949 he participated in the Egyptian exhibition in Paris. In 1950, he received the Full Bright award for studying art at Minnesota University. He then studied at Colombia University in NY and began exhibiting his work in NY and Minnesota from 1951-1952. He participated in 1953 in the Biennale of Sao Paulo in Brazil. Upon returning to Egypt in 1954, he became active in local and international exhibitions. In 1961, he was sent by the Egyptian government to receive his Ph.D. from Columbus University, Ohio. After, he started exhibiting his work in Columbus and Washington DC. Y.Sida’s work at the start was mainly dealing with popular Egyptian themes. We can distinguish Sida’s work through his power of using primary colors in its purest form directly in the tubes without being mixed with other colors. Also, we can notice in his work a tendency towards the qualities and techniques of children’s art. In his later years, Sida began experimenting with Arabic Calligraphy by concentrating on the forms and shapes that are dominant in the popular Egyptian motives and décor. We can witness the dynamism in his Arabic calligraphy work. Sida is also known for his huge murals...
