“Light is Therefore Colour”
Eileen Cooper RA and Sinta Tantra respond to Turner’s home in a contemporary exhibition of new work.
Funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund, Turner’s House Trust is delighted to offer a 6 month bursary for a Royal Academy Graduate Artist. The aim of this project is to provide an opportunity for an artist to focus on exploring J.M.W. Turner, his time in Twickenham and how it influenced his work.
After a competitive process with many excellent entries, the Trustees are pleased to announce the appointment of Nicky Carvell as Artist In Residence. Turner’s House Trust was impressed by how Nicky’s own artistic practice had been inspired by Turner’s virtuosic painting of light and his appreciation of nature.
Nicky followed in Turner’s footsteps by studying at the Royal Academy Schools from 2006 to 2009.
You can explore Nicky’s work here.

For the first time in almost forty years rarely seen bird studies will form the star attraction of the first exhibition in a generation devoted to animals and birds painted by J.M.W. Turner. Opening on the artist’s birthday, in his 250th anniversary year, the exhibition takes place at Sandycombe Lodge, the villa near the Thames.
We had a lot of amazing news coverage for our exhibition Between the Sheets: Turner’s Nudes last year.
