Named after the celebrated English Romantic painter Joseph Mallord William Turner, the Turner Prize was first awarded in 1984. Its aim is to award the prize once a year to a British artist who has created an exhibition of particular merit and importance. Pio Abad, Claudette Johnson, Jasleen Kaur and Delaine Le Bas are the four artists shortlisted for the 2024 Turner Prize. They will exhibit their work at Tate Britain from 25 September 2024, with the winner announced on 3 December 2024. Pio Abad explores cultural loss and colonial histories, often reflecting on his upbringing in the Philippines. His solo exhibition To Those Sitting in Darkness at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, showcased drawings, prints and sculptures that depict and transform artefacts from Oxford museums. Abad highlights their neglected histories and connections to everyday domestic objects. Claudette Johnson creates striking figurative portraits of black women and men using pastels, gouache and watercolor. She was nominated for her solo exhibition Presence at the Courtauld Gallery in London and Drawn Out at Ortuzar Projects in New York. Jasleen Kaur creates sculptures made from everyday objects using unique sound compositions. She was nominated for her solo exhibition Alter Altar at Tramway in Glasgow. Delaine Le Bas transforms her surroundings into monumental immersive environments filled with painted fabrics, theater costumes and sculptures. She was nominated for her presentation Incipit Vita Nova. Here Begins The New Life/A New Life Is Beginning at the Secession in Vienna.
From cozy fires to dazzling décor and the glamour of London's best boutiques, it's a season to cherish at the Bvlgari Hotel London.
