A true jack-of-all-trades, Derry Turla has experimented with numerous artistic techniques since leaving the Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s: watercolor, acrylic, oils, inks... before discovering and train in infographics. Some of his works combine modern and traditional techniques.
We cannot understand a work without understanding the soul that painted it and if we judge by what his paintings give us to read, that of Derry Turla is nourished by restless and yet lively colors, drunk with humanism, she takes the tortured paths of an unnamed bohemian life, to say the least. Rather than impressionist, he impresses or rather he “expresses”. He “pop artdisses” the line without ever going to the line. He breaks, imposes and exposes; clear yet. Its lines are clear and yet we get lost if we look at them too much.
Of him, Pierre Rombeau says: "He is not the artist of a school, of a system, but the acrobat open to everything and everyone. He explores all the materials likely to guide his creation: pencils, inks, acrylic, gouache, pastel, drawing, computer graphics, sculpture, sets for the theater.
His techniques feed on each other, overlap, without there being any question of wandering, whatever the dose, it is the objective that imposes itself.
