Tracey Emin, the studio and me: inside the wild, passionate process of the artist at work

Harry Weller, Tracey Emin’s long-time creative director, provides an intimate look into the artist’s studio practice ahead of her major exhibition at Tate Modern. Weller describes a high-intensity environment where Emin works without preparatory sketches, often entering a trance-like state of "primal instinct" to produce her visceral paintings and text-based works. His role involves acting as a creative antagonist, challenging Emin during the painting process to push the boundaries of her work while documenting the spontaneous poetic fragments she produces.

The Art of the Tour: King Charles's Traveling Painters

King Charles III has sponsored an exhibition titled “The King’s Tour Artists” at Buckingham Palace, featuring 43 artists he recruited to paint during 70 royal tours over the past 40 years. The show, open until September 28, includes 74 paintings selected from over 300 works in the King’s private collection, alongside a companion book, *The Art of Royal Travel: Journeys with The King*. The idea originated from Peter St. Clair-Erskine, the 7th Earl of Rosslyn, who catalogued the collection. Critics have dismissed the works as polite and old-fashioned, but the exhibition highlights Charles’s long-standing patronage of representational art and his own practice as a watercolorist.
