When the judges solid their votes nevertheless it was Tomma Abts who got here out on prime. She gained twenty 5 thousand british kilos and naturally the Turner Prize itself. I’m positive the cash will come in useful – nevertheless its the publicity that Tomma will get from profitable thats the actually essential factor right here.
What does Tomma Abts do? Nicely she truly paints summary artwork; often in oils or acrylics. – one thing of a novelty for the Turner Prize – some would say! Tomma Abts was initially chosen for her solo artwork exhibitions at Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland, and Greengrassi, London.

The photographs or work of Tomma Abts are created by the repetiton of assorted geometrical shapes on a base of wealthy color.

All in all I believe that Tomma Abts creates summary artwork that’s fairly accessible to the general public at massive.
