Alixe Turner (b. Gien, France) works across drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation. Through a variety of processes that employ unconventional materials and mark-making tools, her work confronts her own body and its limitations. Turner’s practice plays a game of telephone: ideas of origin, truth, and reality become distorted and destabilized. Drawing from her years as a surveyor and her interest in cartographic systems, she engages the material languages of bureaucracy to consider what is officially recorded, redacted, and concealed.
Turner received an MFA in Painting from the Yale School of Art and a B.A. in International Development from McGill University. She attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2025 and is a recipient of the Dean’s Travel Fellowship and the Art YAF Scholarship. Recent exhibitions include James Fuentes Gallery, New York; Half Gallery, New York; Lisa Kandlhofer, Vienna; Towards Gallery, Toronto; Ely Center of Contemporary Art, New Haven; Solar Tacuubaya, Mexico City; NXTHVN, New Haven.
