Tracey Emin, Turner Prize-voted artist has put in a neon sign calling for 'more passion' surrounded by Downing Street's Terracotta Room at David Cameron's demand.

The piece of art, which includes a neon sign reading 'More Passion', has been hung up by Cameron in a main Downing Street room that fronts onto a study utilized by Margaret Thatcher when she was in rule. 

Cameron commissioned Emin to craft the piece of art one year ago, with the Turner Prize nominee granting that the work would have to be a leaving from her common style, which has been distinguished for its strom in the past. 

'It has to narrate to different people on different attitudes because of all the public figures and world leaders and religious groups who go to Number 10,' Emin said of the sign, which she has contributed to the Government Art Collection. 

However, not everybody is delighted with the art. A government source told the Sunday Mirror of his displeasure: 'It has the very exact effect of ­making the Terracotta Room look like a nightclub. 
'It is very brilliant. That is sharp by the reality that the entrance lobby it faces on to is quite dim.'

The Terracotta Room is one frequently utilized for hospitality, hosting significant functions for personalities who visit the prime minister.
