All artists work with light, Turrell makes light work for him. Through drawings then projection, windows and rooms Turrell uses light and form to create a new world of visual triggers: 2D becomes 3D, the finite appears infinite. Gentle pastel colours are juxtaposed with disconcerting visual clues that stimulate the intellect whilst soothing the soul. This is a genuine retrospective that reveals James Turrell's evolving practice whilst leaving the viewer in awe of his talent.
