Christchurch based Artist Glen Turner hand makes original art works using locally sourced re-purpose

Glen is a self-taught artist who creates from his home studio in Christchurch. His work is centred around breathing new life into otherwise discarded parts of nature. Glen uses many different species of beautiful pre-loved timber to create original and unique mosaic art works full of intriguing depth and texture. The materials he uses are largely sourced from the local Canterbury region and come f

This is absolutely one of my most challenging pieces.
It's called 'Three' because it's pretty much the accumulated effort of 3 years worth of time and practice to gain the confidence and skill to let go and make what I wanted to make! One Christmas I gave myself the time...time to explore and think. Three was the result!

There are no sketches, no plans and definitely no certainty when I began. Luckily each piece evolves incrementally along the way as I highly doubt I could even draw a piece that looked like this! πŸ˜…

Yes! some days working it out on the fly is painfully difficult but that's also where you find the Fizz!! Between the difficult parts just on the other side around a few corners....there it is....

'Three' needs to be out in the wild, to be enjoyed and admired in a new home that's why I'd love the right person to have 25% OFF as my gift to them. This is such a personal piece to me that I feel needs to be out there and seen.

Oh and don't worry it can be hung horizontally as well πŸ˜‰

Size - 125cm x 84cm
Price - was $6980 now 5235 plus postage and packaging if outside of Christchurch

Send me a DM if you think this awesome piece is right for you πŸ₯³

Today's the day!! At 3pm!!
Sometimes I'm a little bit guilty of looking past the work that I've done and moving swiftly on to the next idea or the next piece. It's only when I see it all laid out in front of me that I realize, whoa! I did aaaalllllll that! How cool! I'm super proud of the work I've created over the years and hugely grateful to all of you who have supported me in along the way. It means I can keep making all the awesome ideas floating around my head! Wooo hooo!! πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

You guys are awesome!! Thanks so much to the legends who've come along to the Wellington Art Show so far this weekend!

The larger free form pieces have been some of the most popular and I'm stoked that several of them are off to new homes.

This is one of my personal favorites that's still available.

This is February. She's's honestly one of the hardest to show off in photographs. The layers, shapes, texture, depth, detail, negative space, colour palette...I may be biased, but I think she's pretty cool 😎

'FEBRUARY'
Available NOW! πŸ˜ƒ

Courier options are available, as always.

Introducing another of my latest collection that is available for sale.

Photos reeeaaaally don't do this beauty justice because it's hard to show all the detail in such a tiny image on the socials but trust me, he's pretty rad and would look sweet on your wall! 😜

Available now to be purchased and hung in his forever home 😊

Patiently waiting for you to take him home πŸ˜‰

If you've never stood in front of my work it can be really hard to gauge the depth, layers and texture in every piece. My photos really don't do a good job at helping me out here πŸ™„

So, here's a little attempt at trying to highlight some of this for the people playing along at home.

Obviously, they're better viewed and appreciated as a whole and from a distance, rather than with your camera (or face) 3 cm away but hopefully these images will give you a better idea of the finer details.

I often get comments from people who have been following along on the socials that they are super surprised by ALL the layers and depth when they get to see them in person.

Have a flick through the images. I hope this helps πŸ€™πŸ»πŸ€™πŸ»

QUICK! He's the last one of this size left available at

He's called Woolly. A little hard to tell in the photos but the dark grey curved pieces on the side are actually covered with a "woolly" textured fabric. Pretty cool hey 😎

I've been enjoying adding some new textures and materials to some of the works lately and this is one example of incorporating repurposed fabrics offcuts with the repurposed timbers.

'Woolly'
Approx, 75cm x 25cm
Available...for now πŸ˜€

Introducing Neapolitan.

From the hundreds of original art works I've created over the year, 60cm x 60cm have been, by far, one of the most popular with the buyers and followers.

Maybe it's because the symmetry works so perfectly?

Maybe it's because it's such a versatile size that works in soooo many spaces? In an entrance way, down a hallway, above a desk, bed, dining table, couch, on that awkward piece of wall between two doorways or windows, in any room of the home or office....you get my drift 😜

Recently, I've only created this size as commissioned works but I thought it was time to bring it back for this collection and I'm glad I did.

I have three brand new 60cm x 60cm available . All one of a kind originals. Wanna see 'em all? Come down to The Christchurch Art Show before 5:00pm today or, flick me a message and I'll send you through some images. Boom! πŸ‘ŠπŸ»

'Neopolitan'
60cm x 60cm
Looking for his forever home now 😁

Photos from Glen Turner Artist's post 09/03/2024

Here she is!

Over 60 hours of making, endless hours of creative inspiration, a lot of 4am mental design and redesign, a good few cups of frustration and possibly a little sprinkle of "colourful" language but, I'm super stoked with how she's turned out.

I hope you enjoy her as much as I enjoyed the process of bringing her to life.

Now, who has the perfect space for her to hang and live her best life? 😊

'Guacamole'
Approx. 145cm x 55cm
Available now or get in touch if your interested. Courier options available, as always.

Introducing 'February'. Another of my latest collection that's currently looking for his forever home. I had a lot of fun creating this piece.

A challenging play around with curves and negative space to soften and contrast with the sharp jagged lines.

What do you think?

'February'
1400cm x 50cm

Available at today or get in touch if you'd like to know more? Courier options always available 😎

One of my favourites from my latest collection that's currently exhibited and available for sale at this weekend.

I've played around with curves and wallpaper designs in several of this collection and I'm really loving how they've turned out.

This piece is a new twist on my larger free form works. I like how the rounded edges and botanical design of the wallpaper softens against the hard timbers.

Let's play a game....
I've obviously already named it but, I'm interested...what would you name him/her/them?

Who are we?

Studio Three Two Four is an exciting small business that specialises in mosaic wooden art and home decor pieces created from locally sourced materials in Christchurch, New Zealand and surrounding region.

We are, Glen and Linda; the couple behind this creative venture. Both of us are absolutely passionate about small business and supporting others like us. Glen has been making one off items for many years by using the resources available to him. Whether it’s a piece of furniture, custom wood art or a home decor item, he has always enjoyed what he does and the sense of satisfaction that comes with it.

At Studio Three Two Four we are committed to using all types of repurposed wood, saving it from landfill and turning it into something new and beautiful. We enjoy giving the wood a whole new life by making something exciting with it!

We believe that there is a natural movement toward those who take the time to create items from scratch and away from mass produced objects. The true value of what we own should come from what it means to us; There is something special about owning a handmade item, you know that the heart, soul and many long hours goes into every aspect, from the initial design to the final creation. This always means you are truely getting something unique in every way. We would love nothing more than for someone to appreciate one of our creations enough to have it in their home or work space.
