Artist Larry Achiampong tells us about parenthood, gaming, the impact of Covid, growing up in East London and the transformative power of art. The Award gave him the time and space to make plans and try new things and for self-care. Read the interview: phf.org.uk/larry-achiampong 12/
Quote from 2019 visual arts recipient Larry Achiampong. “You have to keep hoping and believing art matters, otherwise it’s just nihilism, the world is literally on fire and being an artist is a way to navigate that with hope.” Photo credit: Reece Straw.

Luke Bedford was one of the youngest recipients of the Awards. He explains how the Award allowed him to focus full time on composing. It gave him security at a crucial point and the confidence and freedom to explore new ideas. Read the interview: phf.org.uk/luke-bedford 14/
Quote from 2007 composer recipient Luke Bedford: “For me, it was life changing, they caught me at a critical moment. I was so financially vulnerable, and it meant that the day-to-day worries weren’t there and I was able to write the music I wanted too. That felt amazing.” Photo credit: Ben Ealovega.

The Award recognised Kate Young's talent and tenacity. She was able to properly record an album – with an 8 piece band including a string quartet. She is frank about the precarity composers face, but the Award was transformative. Read the interview: phf.org.uk/kate-young 15/
Quote from 2018 composer recipient Kate Young: “I just felt my creative body shrivelling up. It has been so challenging and I’ve had to be so stubborn to keep going. Without a doubt, the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award saved my career as an artist.” Photo credit: Krzysztof Globisz
