TURN Gallery is pleased to present Mason Saltarrelli in Sun(g) Son(g), opening November 5th, 2025, with a reception from 6 - 8 pm. This marks his fourth solo exhibition with the gallery.

These paintings are inspired by visits to the unfamiliar and familiar. Tucson, Arizona held nights sleeping under the moon not far from the calling coyotes and days in the sun feeling the desert’s repetitious contact with my bare feet. New Orleans, Louisiana had been years since I experienced the celebration of Mardi Gras Day with the pageantry of the parade floats and riders. I would not have predicted a merging of these two spaces, events and their orphic visions, but here we are.

— Mason Saltarrelli

Mason Saltarrelli navigates a bridge between beings and spirit by engaging with a succinct collection of discovered and abstracted characters and syllabaries. Painting and drawing intuitively—his expressiveness articulates continuing, woven motifs which invite unlimited exploration from the watcher. Saltarrelli’s jubilant work transforms human, animal and inanimate beings into buoyant embracing remembrances in an ever-evolving carousel of shape and color.
