Nestled in amongst the permanent Turner Collection in the Tate Britain's Clore gallery under the same roof as the Late Turner exhibition, Eliasson's clinical
circular works might seem a tad out of place amongst so much history and the painterly brush
strokes of cloud, water, landscape and
light in Turner's paintings.
In my monumental paintings of the «Dome» series, I simply create
circular patterns with repetitive stamps or
strokes of ink, acrylic or gesso on linen, with the
light coming through the centre.
