Exhibition showcasing British painter of light artworks opens in Shanghai

Turner, who is one of Britain's most admired and influential artists, is known as "the painter of light". His paintings are renowned for indistinctness and vaporous visions, characterized by an expressive use of colors, mastery of light and an extraordinary dynamism that seems to border on abstraction, according to Elizabeth Brooke, Tate's senior project curator for international partnerships, who is also the curator of this exhibition.
