Cameron Platter exhibition at the Jack Bell Gallery
See, See, See, 2013
Everyday Apocalypse is South African artist Cameron Platter’s first exhibition in the UK. The works on show form part of his ongoing series of documentary drawings. Once described as “the delinquent love child of Quentin Tarantino and Dr Seuss”, Platter’s work – often a riot of colour, harsh lines and bold words – is concerned with chronicling contemporary morality through fantasy, satire and subculture.
