Museum exhibitions

Sokari Douglas Camp was born in Buguma, Rivers State, Nigeria. She studied fine art at the Central School of Art and Design, gaining her BA in 1983, followed by an MA at the Royal College of Art.

This incredible sculpture was gifted to Central Saint Martins by the artist in 2025, and will take pride of place in the College’s Museum & Study Collection. Red Paisley King and Queen, which is made from Perspex and welded steel, was inspired by an Adire fabric from the artist’s childhood.

In 2005, Sokari Douglas Camp was awarded a CBE in recognition of her services to British Art, and her work is held by museums and galleries all over the world. We are privileged to have this wonderful sculpture join our own collection at CSM.
