2025 marks 250 years since the birth of JMW Turner – the great 19th century landscape artist, whose expressive, atmospheric paintings transformed British art. His life and genius was also unforgettably brought to the screen in Mike Leigh’s 2014 film Mr Turner, starring Timothy Spall. Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode look at the long relationship between cinema and painting.
Mark speaks to cultural historian Professor Sir Christopher Frayling on Hollywood’s approach to the history of art, from Kirk Douglas as Van Gogh to Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo. He then talks to actor Timothy Spall on how playing JMW Turner led to a parallel career as a painter.
Ellen explores the relationship between painting and cinematography with cinematographer Sir Roger Deakins. She also speaks to artist Cathy Lomax on the painterly in cinema – and the cinematic in painting.

It’s spooky season, so I thought I could talk about the scariest thing imaginable – the absurdity of space, time, and existence.
Trying something a little different for this video. Hope you like it.

Step into the mind of Olalekan Jeyifous, a Nigerian-born, Brooklyn-based artist and architect known for crafting speculative, afrofuturist worlds that reimagine how cities could look, feel, and function, especially for historically marginalized communities.
In this intimate profile, we visit Jeyifous’ studio in the rapidly gentrifying Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, exploring how he blends architecture, VR, collage, 3D modeling, and public art to create vibrant alternate realities. We take a walk with him to see how he collects everyday urban details— graffiti, ghost signs, surveillance tech, or a patch of overgrown sidewalk— and expands them into immersive visual landscapes where communities thrive on their own terms.
His alternate realities ask, “What if our cities were built with everyone in mind from the start?” He shows us that daydreaming is more than a fantasy; it’s a question of perspective, power, and possibility.

En este sexto diario de procesos comparto la transformación de la máscara del perro.
Le abrí espacio de visibilidad, la vacié por dentro para aligerarla, y le incorporé un casco de cartón para que sea más cómoda de usar.
También le agregué una lengua y cambié la pintura, buscando otra expresividad.
Una intervención que combina gesto, comodidad y juego.
In this sixth process diary, I share the transformation of the dog mask.
I opened up visibility space, hollowed it out to make it lighter, and added a cardboard helmet for comfort.
I also attached a tongue and changed the paint, looking for a different kind of expression.
An intervention that combines gesture, comfort, and play.
