Lady Skollie is the recipient of the FNB Art Prize 2020

October 28, 2020

Everard Read is proud to to announce that Lady Skollie is the 10th FNB Art Prize recipient, joining a prestigious list of winners since the launch of the prize in 2011. The FNB Art Prize has since become one of the coveted visual art prizes on the African continent. In addition to a page on the online fair (taking place 6-18 November) and cash prize, Lady Skollie will be awarded an international residency to be booked in 2021-2022.

Lady Skollie (born Laura Windvogel) remarks on her win, “As someone who never fit in, someone who dropped out of art school, someone who only got South African representation at the age of 31, winning a local art prize makes me feel like my existence in it is validated.” Filled with bold colour, god-like figures and suggestive fruits, Lady Skollie’s work revolves around themes of gender, sex and the politics of lust, as well as her musings on identity.

“We are proud to announce Lady Skollie as the 10th FNB Art Prize winner. Her rendition of art has challenged societies norms to evolve; and be present through the many social challenges that we face. Art is an evolving medium and through the years the FNB Art Joburg platform has ensured that we continue to support and recognise talent across all art mediums. Congratulations Lady Skollie,” says Bonga Sebesho, Head of FNB Sponsorships.
