Light radiates through his paintings’ atmospheres, blanketing their subjects. As for his use of scale, the people of his worlds are dwarfed by nature, ancient structures, and great ships to the extent where the people are nearly non-existent. Life to Turner seems to appear all at once, regarding both mountain and man, sky and ocean as equally present, arriving together to his eye as a symphonic abstraction of time and space bound together in ever reaching light.

“A logo doesn’t need to say what it does.”
If it tries, it becomes literal, dated, and brittle.
- Paul Rand

Hard truth: If you’re explaining the business inside the mark, you’re compensating for weak identity thinking.
