Cameron Platter (b. 1978, Johannesburg, South Africa) works in drawing, painting, video, and sculpture. In his work, Platter explores the particularities of life in contemporary South Africa. Drawing inspiration from unexpected and varied sources, Platter blurs the distinctions between high and low culture and offers a playfully fragmented view of the country’s social and political climate. He graduated with a BFA in painting from the Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town in 2001. Platter has had solo exhibitions at Whatiftheworld (Cape Town, 2020, 2016, 2014, 2011, and 2010); Johannes Vogt (New York, 2019); Blank Projects (Cape Town, 2019, 2017, and 2006); Ever Gold [Projects] (San Francisco, 2019 and 2017); Galerie Hussenot (Paris, 2018, 2014, and 2012); 1301PE (Los Angeles, 2018); GNYP Gallery (Berlin, 2018); Depart Foundation (Los Angeles, 2016); and the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Cape Town, 2015). Platter has been included in group exhibitions at Ever Gold [Projects] (San Francisco, 2018); SFMOMA (San Francisco, 2014); the 55th Venice Biennale (2013); the Musee des Beaux-arts de Nantes (2013); MoMA (New York, 2011); the Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2014); the Centre Georges Pomidou, Paris (2010); Le Biennale de Dakar 2010 (Dakar, Senegal); Marte Museum (El Salvador, 2010); and the Iziko South African National Gallery (Cape Town, 2010). His works are present in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York); the FRAC Pays de la Loire (France); the Iziko South African National Gallery (Cape Town); The Margulies Collection (Miami); The Zeitz Collection (Cape Town); and the New Church Collection (Cape Town).
