About The Artwork

Mixed media Collage (Paper, Ink, Acrylic paint) on Canvas Board This collage was created by painting the canvas with acrylic paint. The collage elements were prepared using acrylic paint and ink on paper and then cut by hand, with a scalpel. I then assembled the work and brought to completion using acrylic paint and ink. "Little Vitruvian Droid" is a celebration of the role that technology is playing in the evolution of mankind. Leonardo da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man" came to represent the re-birth of Humanism and, in my mind, "Little Vitruvian Droid" celebrates the birth of a new era in the evolution of mankind - and suggests the possibility that technological advances have the potential to be life-enhancing to humanity. Da Vinci's text is still written backwards, but it has been translated into English and the word "Man" has been substituted with "Droid".

Eleanor Turvey launched her career with a series of arresting and powerful collage portraits. What sets her work apart is a unique technique and a continuously evolving practice. "My love of portraiture began as a personal search for truth and guidance. I have studied and portrayed many great leaders and thinkers along my journey and I realised that, in addition to capturing their likeness, I wanted to weave their thoughts and words into the portrait, thereby opening a window into the mind of the person being portrayed. I discovered that collage is the perfect medium for achieving this." Eleanor Turvey lives and works in Cape Town and became a full-time artist in 2012. Her work is in private and corporate collections in the UK, Hong Kong and throughout Africa.
