Biography:
Cameron Platter is a South African contemporary visual artist, born in Johannesburg in 1978. His work is known for its unorthodox approach, often described as the delinquent love child of Quentin Tarantino and Dr Seuss. It combines the bizarreness of everyday life into an unforgiving yet deeply observant expression. His pieces can be found in the collections of prestigious institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the FRAC des Pays de la Loire in France, the Iziko South African National Gallery, the Margulies Collection in Miami, Florida, the Zeitz Collection in South Africa, and the New Church Collection in South Africa.
