Veronica Ryan - 'I'm interested in contradiction and paradox' | Turner Prize Winner 2022 | Tate

Seeds, fruit, vegetable trays, volcanic ash, teabags, dried flowers and cushions. These are just some of the objects that British artist Veronica Ryan uses in her colourful sculptural works, based on organic forms but which allude to complex historical networks of commercial exchange.
In this film, Veronica Ryan takes us inside the fabrication studio at Bristol's Spike Island where a lot of her artworks are made. She also takes us shopping down Ridley Road Market in East London, just round the corner from her public sculptures honouring the Windrush Generation.
Veronica Ryan is the winner of the Turner Prize 2022. Find out more about the Prize and the exhibition at Tate Liverpool: www.tate.org.u...

You don't see many artists cleaning and taking care of their artworks like Veronica. A lovely, down to earth lady who possesses the common touch. Loving the work💖

I love the Ridley road connection. Jay Blades speaks of the same memory in his autobiography regarding his mum too. Brilliant artwork.

The work and the award are no different than the Sand Castle make-believe of Upton Park, for Billy Bonds????? James Bond? Unibond?

In actual fact, contemporary art is the most colonial thing ever invented and one of the biggest enemies of the African nations, only instead of sucking to maths and geometry it's spots and tea leaves and 100 million applicants from West Africa alone for the job and 200 million for the Playboy mansion.

The seeming dement of detritus has a precedent, it's called oil. Inevitably something will form, see limestone fossils. It's a long time to wait for the fruition, so as a societal message of Amy Johnson-type, hope to the historically displaced people of the world, it is surely as demented as it looks and what contribution to visual art, if described as?

I love her work but I don’t see contradiction or paradox.

[@rede5426]

Nice lady but just don't get the art. Tat with a made up story around it. The emperors naked. Just verbalising art.

[@IBIZABIKE]

Needs more pollyfilla

[@ibexdnb2879]

What a load of crap 😂

[@emiliohc6914]

Boring

[@discobaby795]

Very ordinary objects. Overrated nonsense stuff.

Another Tracey Emin. Talentless wokery.
