TURN Gallery is pleased to present WE ARE PARTS, a group exhibition featuring artists Lily Rose Fine, Olivia Springberg, C Lucy R Whitehead, and Caroline Zurmely, opening Wednesday March 18th, 2026 from 6 to 8 PM. The exhibition will be on view until April 25th.
Bridging the gap between self-perception, illusion, and reality, these four artists come together in a presentation of work that allows space to both examine and imagine their complex relationship to the human body through spirit, architecture, and consciousness. WE ARE PARTS is a celebration of resilience, a reflection on the daily experiences and dreams of inhabiting the human form. These works encourage an examination of the body not as a singular image, but rather an experience holding history, joy, beauty, scars, and strength.
Lily Rose Fine (b. 1997) examines what devotion looks like in a modern context through potent symbolism, memorabilia, and art making as an attempt at an afterlife. Within a collected language of iconography inspired by relics, cinema, theater, and art history, she casts herself and those close to her as recurring actors that embody narratives of intimacy, obsession, preservation, and privacy. Often incorporating found objects as extensions of her paintings, she grasps at an elusive feeling within everything she makes, capturing the eery mystery of encountering the public future of private, anonymous ephemera. Depicting her own ineffable personal experiences veiled with ambiguity, she invites a collaboration with viewers’ inquiries, projections and instinctive storytelling, presenting as a mirror for self-reflection. She completed her postgraduate at The Royal Drawing School in London and BFA from OCAD University in Toronto. She has exhibited with Center of International Contemporary Art, Vancouver; Appach Gallery, London; PADA Studios, Barreiro, Portugal; Watts Contemporary Gallery, Guildford, UK; Partnership Editions, London, among others. She currently lives and works in Vancouver, Canada.
Olivia Springberg (b. 2000) engages with the idea of sites of improbability, places that exist between the visible and invisible. She’s interested in the experience of dreaming, and how we attempt to represent the experience in waking life. Drawing from Jewish tradition, dream theory, and interests in archaeology and the occult, she embraces mystery and ambiguity, blending the familiar with the unfamiliar. Abstracted color-infused canvases reminiscent of X-rays reveal imagined barriers, encouraging an exploration of the boundaries between fictional space and reality. She holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. Springberg has exhibited with Storage Gallery, New York, NY; Ambar Quijano Gallery, Mexico City; Field Projects, NY, among others. Olivia was a 2023 Florence Leif Award recipient. She is currently living and working in Brooklyn.
C Lucy R Whitehead (b. 1991) makes figures that blur the line between body, object, and role, placing them in landscapes and interiors where they try on identities that never fully fit. The canvas holds these figures in suspension, like specimens preserved in a jar: contained, displayed, and turned into spectacle. Within each frame, they echo the boxes and stereotypes that organize daily experience, straining against boundaries that both define and restrict them. Through this push and pull, Whitehead is interested in how the body is encountered not as a fixed symbol or possession, but as something inhabited, exhibited, and continuously renegotiated. She received her MFA from the Royal College of Art in London and BFA from Camberwell College of Art in London. She has exhibited in Megan Mulrooney Gallery, Los Angeles; Soho Revue, London; Incubator Projects, London; Mint, Munich, among others. She lives and works in London.
Caroline Zurmely (b. 1994) draws from fashion photography, tabloid imagery, and beauty culture. Her compositions isolate fragments of the body and luxury accessories through tightly cropped intimate viewpoints. Using nail polish as a primary medium, Zurmely transforms a cosmetic product associated with adornment into a painterly material, exploring ideas of desirability, surface culture, and the construction of visual identity through both image and material. She received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. Zurmely has exhibited with de boer gallery, Los Angeles; Carl Kostyál, Milan; Abigail Ogilvy Gallery, Los Angeles; Cob Gallery, London; Venus Over Manhattan, New York among others. She lives and works in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
