Thrilled to share Phillip Lai’s presentation in the second ‘Hepworth Prize for Sculpture exhibition’ following his nomination in 2018. One among the five artists nominated for this award, Lai approaches objects in a manner that appeals to, and reflects on their intrinsic existence and properties, altering or diverting them in altogether more abstract, minimalist ways.

The Hepworth Prize for Sculpture was established in 2016 as a £30,000 biennial award recognising a British or UK-based artist of any age, at any stage in their career who has made a significant contribution to the development of contemporary sculpture.
