Cameron Ugbodu
Cameron Ugbodu, aka "See You", is an autodidact Nigerian and Austrian multidisciplinary artist living and working in London. Through their work, Cameron investigates family histories, identity and queerness.
Influences and techniques learned from their family's heritage from Benin City (Edo State, Nigeria) and the Wachau area (Austria) shape Cameron’s practice. Craftsmanship has always been an important part of Cameron's family, this coupled with difficulty expressing themselves verbally has led Cameron to explore visual expression through different mediums in order to communicate their world to others.
On a constant search for oneself, their work archives different stages of their experience and the space surrounding them with a gaze towards the future and exploration.
Cameron has exhibited and collaborated with many institutions including SMO Gallery, V&A, Museum of London, University of Applied Arts Vienna, SECCA North Carolina, Cubitt Artists London, Flat 70, Never at Home Vienna, BID Hammersmith, Dada Gallery, Photo London, Saatchi, PRIM.
Their editorial work has been published in various magazines including Frieze, Vogue Italy, Harper’s Bazaar UK, Vogue Germany, DAZED, Britain GQ, Fantastic Man, Crack Magazine, Musee Magazine, REVS, Butt Mag, GUAP, New Wave Mag, New Currency & DADA magazine.
