MONACO – This summer, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, in partnership with Tate, proudly unveils "Turner, the Sublime Legacy." Opening on July 6, 2024, this expansive exhibition spans over 2,000 square meters and features nearly 80 works by the illustrious Joseph Mallord William Turner. Renowned for his revolutionary approach to landscape and light, Turner's art profoundly influenced the sublime representation in art, and this exhibition showcases that legacy in unparalleled depth. The exhibition boasts an impressive collection of 38 oil paintings and 40 works on paper, making it the largest loan of Turner’s oil paintings to date from the Tate. These pieces trace Turner’s artistic evolution, from his early depictions of the English countryside to his later, more modern landscapes, characterized by masterful use of color and light. "Turner, the Sublime Legacy" also delves into Turner's enduring impact on contemporary art. It features around thirty works by modern and contemporary artists such as John Akomfrah, Olafur Eliasson, and Mark Rothko. These artists engage in a vibrant dialogue with Turner’s work, exploring themes of landscape representation and human-environment interactions through diverse mediums, including sculpture, installation, and video. Elizabeth Brooke, the exhibition's curator, sheds light on the purpose of this showcase: "This exhibition presents a range of Turner’s most important pictures alongside a selection of high-profile works by contemporary artists. It explores Turner's oeuvre through the eighteenth-century notion of the ‘Sublime’ and reconsiders the concept in a twenty-first-century context. I hope the show will introduce Turner to a new audience, who might not typically visit a historical art exhibition, whilst also offering a new perspective on Turner for more familiar visitors." Brooke emphasizes what makes this exhibition unique: "The collection includes the largest selection of Turner’s oil paintings that Tate has ever loaned, alongside a range of his watercolours and sketches. Fifteen artists are also featured alongside Turner; who have all been either influenced by, compared to, or in some cases challenged his approach towards engaging with the natural world. The contemporary artworks interspersed throughout the exhibition seek to facilitate a consideration of the modern relevance of Turner’s sublime explorations of the natural world." The Grimaldi Forum, a cultural landmark known for its striking architecture, hosts this exhibition as part of its rich and varied annual programming. As the venue nears its 25th anniversary in 2025, it continues to attract over 250,000 visitors annually and host approximately 100 events each year, reinforcing its status as a key cultural hub in Monaco. "Turner, the Sublime Legacy" promises to be a seminal exhibition, offering visitors an unparalleled opportunity to experience the grandeur of Turner’s work alongside contemporary interpretations, all within the stunning setting of the Grimaldi Forum. Don’t miss this chance to witness the sublime legacy of one of Britain’s greatest artists.

Mr Controversial has been mentioned as the " one to watch " when it comes to emerging artistic talent in the UK. His recent track record includes multiple sell-out exhibitions and collections, attracting a dedicated collector base that includes both established collectors and a few well-known celebrities. Early in his artistic journey, he made waves by combining vintage pulp imagery with humorous and relatable captions. Most recently, the artist has been focusing on creating new bold and witty typographical oil paintings, infused with universal truths that resonate with a wide audience.Thanks to the shareable nature of his work, it often goes viral, and his aim is to hit the sweet spot between social media viral content and contemporary art. His new collection promises oil paintings characterized by rich textures, vibrant colors, and satirical messages, which the artist will be releasing through a handful of entrusted galleries globally. Drawing from his professional experience in the advertising industry working on campaigns for a variety of brands, his creative work stems from a passion for crafting captivating visuals, communication through design, behavioural science and marketing psychology. He humorously tackles the challenges arising from the digital age and the personal frustrations associated with our social media-centric world. When describing his work Mr Controversial says: Each piece should be instantly relatable to the viewer, as if you have stumbled upon something that hits the nail on the head of your own everyday life, making the ordinary extraordinary & hilariously absurd. I want to create art that speaks to people on a personal level (the inner you) as if I know something about them that nobody else does. Behind the beautiful imagery is a dark story about yourself, just waiting to be discovered. When asked about his artistic process: When I’m not creating in my London studio, I spend many hours in my favourite coffee shops sketching out ideas and wrestling with concepts that have been rattling around in my head. Many people come in and out throughout the day and I like to earwig in on conversations, deconstruct them, and almost psychoanalyse them. I then put them back together with a funny twist and use that as a basis for a piece of art, I then set about creating the imagery around the caption. A lot of my work is based on conversations I’ve personally listened in on or things I’ve seen on social media posts or comments. I always try to find a funny angle, especially with stuff that’s often quite dark. I have a fearless approach to my work, whether that’s taking the piss out of oat milk drinkers, social media influencers, online dating or our own insecurities that rattle around in our minds fuelled by advertising, consumerism and capitalism.​ In a world where nothing is truly original, I can only create art that is authentic to me. I guess that’s what makes your art truly valuable. My work, my ideas, my worldview, my commentary on the world we live in. I believe great artists are commentators and a voice of the times in which they create, their work serves as a snapshot and a window into that specific time in history for future generations to make sense of when they look back. ... In the year 2123 when someone comes across a piece from my 2023 collection entitled; ‘Oat Milk Drinking Twat’ (in either a museum or a skip depending on how successful my art career was), they’ll hold it up as a turning point in milk consumption, shifting consumer attitudes towards mass industrial farming and realise that this beautifully branded crushed oat juice was the trojan horse in the rise of veganism, putting it in nearly every fridge in the UK... well, hopefully.
