Joaquin Turner

Carmel artist and gallerist (since 2015) Joaquin Turner has moved his gallery just opposite his original one at Carmel’s Su Vecino Court on Dolores Street (between Fifth and Sixth). The space was previously occupied by James Rieser Fine Art. The new, much larger Joaquin Turner Gallery is filled with Turner’s own California tonalist paintings hung alongside the work of some of the most notable early artists (1880-1940) from the Carmel and Monterey art colonies as well as living California artists Brian Blood and Wyllis Heaton. “There’s already more traffic,” Turner says, happy with the new, spacious location. His “Moonlit Pine,” oil on canvas, is shown above.
