Cameron Platter

South African 1978- 

While trained as a painter, Cameron Platter’s preferred mediums are drawing, sculpture, and film. His works are marked by their vivid colour palette, surreal humour, and recombinant visual style, which sutures together quotations from outdoor advertising, tabloid newspapers, TV culture, and art history – notably the work of artist John Muafangejo. Platter’s art explores themes of power, faith, security, sex, and consumption. His large-scale drawings, each painstakingly produced with Faber-Castell pencils, have been a mainstay of his practice since his debut solo exhibition at the Bell-Roberts Gallery, Cape Town, in 2005.

Platter has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York City, NY, USA; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), San Francisco, CA, USA; Centre Pompidou, Paris; the Dakar Biennale, and the Venice Biennale. His work is included in the permanent collection of institutions such as MoMA; Zeitz MOCAA, Cape Town; and Iziko South African National Gallery, Cape Town.
