Turner and the Elements
Opens: 28/01/2012 Closes: 13/05/2012
Turner Contemporary, Margate
The recently revamped gallery celebrates its namesake. A regular visitor to Margate, Turner used the north Kent coastline as a subject throughout his revolutionary career. Split into suitably primal-sounding sections - Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Fusion - this showcases the great painter's love of the area, and his obsession with natural forces.
