Trustee Colin Reid attended the 8th John Ruskin Prize award ceremony in January, where he presented the Alan Davidson Under 26 Prize to Kanmi Olukanni for his striking charcoal drawing me, myself and I. The prize recognises outstanding work by a young artist and celebrates emerging creative talent, with Olukanni’s powerful and introspective piece standing out among this year’s entries.
The John Ruskin Prize is a multidisciplinary art prize open to all artists, designers and makers, of all nationalities, aged 18 and over.
The 8th John Ruskin Prize culminated in an exhibition featuring selected works drawn from nearly 4,000 entries submitted from across the globe. The Prize reflects the breadth of current artistic approaches and welcomes work in many forms, from traditional practices to digital and time based media.
