Olafur Eliasson room at the Monochrome exhibition, National Gallery

18/12/2017

Olafur Eliasson shows us in the last part of Monochrome, Painting in Black & White at the National Gallery, that monochrome doesn’t automatically mean only black & white.

After a fascinating exhibition of more traditional interpretations, including some staggeringly convincingĀ trompe l’oeil painting, you walk into a bright yellow room and everything becomes tones of that colour.
