The Turner Prize has returned to Tate Liverpool in 2022. The award was given to British artist Veronica Ryan at St. George's Hall, who had a brilliant exhibition or other presentation of their work in the previous year, as has been determined by the jury.
The Famous Visual Arts Prize was established in 1984 and every year it is presented to a British artist who has had an outstanding exhibition or other presentation of their work. This prize is worth £55,000, including £25,000 for the winner and £10,000 for each other shortlisted artist.
Four artists are nominated for the Turner Prize 2022, which this year were Heather Phillipson, Ingrid Pollard and Sin Wai Kin, of which Veronica Ryan won the award last week (December 7).
The work of the four finalists is still on display at Liverpool's Tate Gallery, which has impressive grounds on the beautiful Royal Albert Dock. This is the first time Tate has hosted the iconic Turner Prize in 15 years.
The work takes center stage in a serene yellow space, juxtaposing the familiar by displaying ordinary objects but completely reconfiguring them to bring thought. It explores themes such as history, human psychology and trauma, although the installations are interpretable.

It's less flashy and immersive than runner-up Phillipson's production; more subtle than Sin Wai Kin's radical and amazing work; and not as heartbreaking as Pollard's detailed exploration of the passive acceptance of the racism raging in our society, but it's still engaging, captivating, and powerful.
The work of the four finalists is politically and socially relevant, with the exhibition being a strange and wonderful combination of video, sculpture, print, photography, mechanics, media, etc. In particular, Ryan's work is very peaceful at first with the beauty of the found objects bringing the viewer into a state of relaxation, before the message and importance of sustainability and environmental issues fade. The dire that is raging around the world appears ahead.
