Veronica Ryan, winner of this year's Turner Prize, said the 'question of visibility is really important' 🎨👇
Ryan's dreamy, evocative 'Multiple Conversations 2019–21' and 'Along a Spectrum 2021' secured her the win, beating off fellow finalists, Heather Phillipson, Ingrid Pollard, and Sin Wai Kin. The 66-year-old is the oldest artist to win the prize, and received a standing ovation and ferocious applause at the ritzy award ceremony at St George's Hall.
It's less flashy and immersive than finalist Heather Phillipson's offering; more subtle than the radical and fantastical piece by Sin Wai Kin; and not as harrowing as Ingrid Pollard's detailed exploration of the passive acceptance of racism that blights our society, but it's still just as arresting, enticing and powerful.
On how her installation was created and developed, she said: "It's often that I have different parts of work in the studio that become part of a wider installation so things come together. So, things that are in the studio, I think about, 'oh well how am I going to make that work in relation to other work?' So it's kind of bringing different parts of work together that have pre-existed in the studio.
Of her fellow finalists, she said: "I don't live in Liverpool so I don't get here as much as I'd like to but I've come [to the exhibition] a number of times and looked at all the different work and it's interesting to see how all the artists have very vital conversations, very important conversations in our current world that we're in.
