Congratulations go out to Glasgow-based artist Richard Wright who won the 2009 Turner Prize last night. Wright was part of a group of artists commissioned as part of our 2007 visual art exhibit Jardins Public.

Wrights wins £25,000 for his massive gold leaf fresco that adorns a wall of the Tate in London.

There is an interview with Wright about his work and his win on the Guardian website here.
