Cameron Jamie
The first serious study on the work of one of the most iconoclastic artists living today
An aesthetic outlier and artistic maverick, Cameron Jamie is a Los Angeles-born, Paris-based American artist whose critically acclaimed art has been exhibited worldwide in some of the most prestigious exhibitions and institutional venues.
Over the course of more than three decades, Jamie has established a multi-faceted practice defined by cultural exploration and formal experimentation that resists categorizations. His artwork encompasses a wide range of artistic cross-disciplines including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, photography, performance, filmmaking, music, and independent publishing.
Jamie’s groundbreaking work has explored, investigated, and analysed how the structures of mythology and rituals in popular and vernacular cultures are shaped and shared, and the extent to which they participate in the creation of individuals’ fictional worlds and fictional selves.
Featuring a large number of previously unpublished images and never-seen-before archival material, this fascinating and long-overdue book will be the first comprehensive monographic publication dedicated to one of the most significant artistic visionaries working today.
