Current Exhibition ~ CADE TURNER

The Art Space at Yindela Street Cafe has taken over the entire shop! Every wall is now fitted out with a gallery hanging system and the natural light and great company is making this a beautiful place to enjoy Fair Trade awesome coffee surrounded by great art.
For the next two weeks....We are THRILLED to showcase the work of this incredibly talented artist. Cade paints with his camera. Film, not digital and there is no Photoshop. You really need to come into Yindela to EXPERIENCE his work. No surprise, Cade is off to New York in November for his first exhibition there.

CADE TURNER
showing now at Yindela until 12th October 2011
ARTISTS STATEMENT

I have always been fascinated with discovering the mystery contained within the raw elements of a scene its light, colour and movement. I am particularly inspired by the Great Impressionists for their sense of visual freedom, breaking traditional techniques and conventions which enabled them to capture impressions of light, colour and movement that had never been seen before.

I love challenging traditional photography and continually blurring the line between what we consider to be art, and what is considered photography. I enjoy breaking the rules, using the camera freely as my paintbrush to paint my works with light.

On location, I search for first impressions that catch my eye and work with the raw elements to develop my story. Sometimes this involves only slight alterations to what the eye naturally sees. Sometimes it involves completely decontextualising the original scene, and working with specific elements to break through into a completely new visual dimension.
