The 2020 Ingram Prize

Foreword

Chris Ingram Founder The Ingram Collection I first started visiting art school degree shows in 2007. Since my very first purchase of work that year from Haroon Mirza’s MFA show, The Ingram Collection now has 70 works by young and emerging artists, which we are proud to display around the UK as part of our public loans and exhibition programme.

The Ingram Prize was established five years ago to celebrate and support the work of artists at a tricky stage in their career - the years after leaving art school when navigating the demands of building a career and making a living can be difficult. I am particularly proud that we have had a record number of entries for this year’s prize, which highlights the importance of opportunities such as this for artists.

I am most associated with Modern British Art, but I have increasingly come to believe that rather than simply looking backwards at what artists have achieved, we should also be looking forwards at the art that is being made today. It is with that idea in mind that the Ingram Prize was created, and seeing our finalists’ work has become one of the highlights of my year.

Congratulations to all.

From our sponsor

Mark Harris Partner Rawlinson & Hunter Rawlinson & Hunter is delighted to sponsor the 2020 Ingram Prize.

The firm has a long history of working with artists and supporting the arts through pro bono work, sponsorships and partners serving as trustees for museums and collections. I have now known Chris Ingram for over 25 years and share his passion for art, so it is a great pleasure to be involved with him through The Ingram Collection and this prize. Rawlinson & Hunter remains committed to the arts and to supporting artists at this difficult moment, and so it was important to us to continue our sponsorship of the Ingram Prize which presents a great opportunity for artists in these times.

Introduction

Jo Baring Director & Curator The Ingram Collection We are so happy to present the 2020 Ingram Prize. It was particularly important to us at The Ingram Collection to ensure that the 2020 Ingram Prize happened, as we have always believed that supporting artists in the years after graduation is vital. This year in particular, which has seen arts funding cut, degree shows made virtual or postponed, and support for the arts seemingly decrease, we are determined to make the 2020 Ingram Prize an even more valuable opportunity and support for artists, and it is fitting that we received a record number of entries, more than doubling last year’s figures.

This is the 5th edition of the prize and our offering now includes a residency, solo show at a prize winning museum & gallery in the UK, and the opportunity for three finalists’ work to join The Ingram Collection. Part of the joy of the prize is the peer to peer networks and support created amongst each cohort, and we hope to continue that this year by providing online professional development sessions. These will be hosted by Samuel Zealey and Ingram Prize alumna Susie Olczak, as part of their Conscious Isolation programme, which was set up in lockdown as an online platform to give artists and art students access to free talks and tutorials.

I am grateful to Alison Price, our Collections Manager, whose hard work and attention to detail makes everything happen, and to Mark Harris and Rawlinson & Hunter for their continued support of the arts and The Ingram Prize.

Congratulations to the 2020 cohort.

Pg.31

xfernluciax Fern O’Carolan (b. 1991) graduated from Gray’s School of Art (BA Contemporary Art Practice (Printmaking), 2015), and Chelsea College of Arts (MFA Fine Art, 2018). Her fantasies narratives often leave her in unsettling and peculiar places in relation to herself, her sexuality, and the political madness of today’s society. Heroes and villains, soulmates and fuck buddies collide and change forms, recounting the vicious cycles of despair and desire that the real world offers, and displaying it through graphic forms and objects. Fern uses work as a way to ask questions about ethics, mortality, and our paradoxical human condition while including humour to facilitate insight.

Robbie O’Keeffe (b. 1994) is a painter. After graduating from the University of Hertfordshire in 2016 with a BA in Fine Art, his selected exhibitions include New Contemporaries and the Deptford X fringe festival. His painterly style has been described as visual music in which he builds layers of space and colour on a small scale. Although inspired by personal insights of places, seen in pier motifs, city and domestic scenes, his works often pull towards poetic notions. O’Keeffe is now a studio holder in London and will have his first solo show at No Format Gallery in Easter 2021.
