The Hari Art Prize Finalists

In a unanimous decision made by all seven judges, Glasgow-based multidisciplinary artist and visual activist, Kialy Tihngang, was identified as stand-out winner from all the applications received. 

Her piece of art, ‘UNTITLED (LEAN SIX SIGMA), 2023’ displays a beautiful fusion of both sculpture and textiles, while simultaneously drawing upon LGBTQ & e-commerce issues of our day. Moreover, her broader collection, ‘Lean Six Sigma’ celebrates opulence as a means of Black resistance and Black joy, flickering with formative memories of her Cameroonian immigrant aunties and uncles’ glamorously decorated homes.

Joseph Fox is a self-taught artist, with a background in graphic design. His work mainly involves twists on classical architectural drawings – some being totally original, and some being modified from more classical works. He has been praised for the concept behind his work and the strength of execution which provided a poignant and playful commentary on philosophical and political themes in contemporary society, specifically through the guise of eighteenth century Italian architectural etchings. Joseph’s artistic potential is inspired.
