Turps is a London-based independent publication devoted to painting — not painting as a category within the broader art world but painting as a practice, a commitment, and a way of thinking that the editors believe is the most vital and challenging art form in existence. The publication features interviews with painters, studio visits, critical essays, and reproductions that examine what it means to paint in the twenty-first century.
The editorial approach is passionate and partisan, reflecting a publication made by painters for painters — people who understand the particular frustrations, obsessions, and rewards of working with pigment on a surface. Beyond the magazine, Turps runs a studio programme and painting school in London that has become one of the most respected artist-led educational initiatives in the UK.
For painters and painting lovers who want a publication that shares their conviction that the oldest art form is also the most endlessly renewable, Turps is the magazine that keeps the faith.
