Cameron Platter

Cameron Platter (born 1978) is a South African contemporary visual artist.

Work

His work has been described as "unorthodox", "the delinquent love child of Quentin Tarantino and Dr Seuss" and where "the bizarreness of everyday life comes together in an expression unashamedly unforgiving, yet deeply observant".

Examples are held in the collections of 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.
