Windrush memorial artist Veronica Ryan wins Turner Prize for 'poetic' sculptures
Entertainment & arts reporter
Her winning works included the custard apple, breadfruit and soursop sculptures that were unveiled in Hackney in October 2021. She also won for an exhibition in Bristol last year that featured cocoa pods, avocado stones and orange peel. "There's a kind of subtle autobiographical component to the work, and the jury feel that she's extending the language of modern contemporary sculpture in new and subtle ways," he said.Ryan's was "perhaps the most abstract and elusive work" of this year's four nominees, he added.
