2025 turner prize nominees

The four nominees for the 2025 Turner Prize have been announced at Tate Britain, including Scottish sculptor Nnena Kalu, who is nonverbal autistic; Iraqi British painter Mohammed Sami; Rene Matić from Peterborough; and London-based Korean Canadian artist Zadie Xa. The shortlist was revealed by Tate Britain director Alex Farquharson, who praised the artists for reflecting the breadth of contemporary British art. The prize, established in 1984, awards £25,000 to the winner and £10,000 to each shortlisted artist. The nominees' works will be exhibited at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery in September as part of Bradford's UK City of Culture celebrations.

nnena kalu turner prize win

Nnena Kalu, a 59-year-old Scottish artist with a learning disability, has won the 2025 Turner Prize, one of the world's most prestigious art awards. Her winning works include vast, swirling abstract drawings and sculptures made from wound VHS tape and found fabric, described as direct, honest, and compelling. The article argues that Kalu won not because of or despite her disability, but on the merit of her art, which stands out for its aesthetic simplicity and emotional power.
