Sokari Douglas Camp CBE is an acclaimed Nigerian artist, born in Buguma, Nigeria in 1958. She studied at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California between 1979 and 1980, before coming to London to complete her BA degree at Central School of Art and Design and MA at the Royal College of Art. Douglas Camp works chiefly with steel, creating figurative works inspired by Nigeria, her country of birth, and specifically Kalabari culture and masquerade traditions. Her knowledge of her own Kalabari culture was deepened and nurtured by her guardian the British anthropologist Robert Horton. Much of her sculpture is constructed from welded steel and her bronze casts are more unusual. In Chief Amachttp://theauctionroom.com/auctions/9...
