HUGO LAMI
Cluster Exhibitor | Cluster Contemporary | 2022
Hugo Lami lives and works in London (1994)
Lami's work addresses our social dependence and identity crisis caused by the absurdity of the digital and virtual worlds. His paintings depict dreams of utopic landscapes, Chimeras and ghosts that try to make sense of themselves through metamorphoses.
Hugo Lami obtained a Masters in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art and a Degree in Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon. Lami has exhibited in galleries and institutional spaces around the world since 2014. He recently exhibited at the Zona Maco in Mexico City. In 2021 he was awarded the Emerging Artist Award by the Tsivrikos Shake Gallery, London. His first public sculpture was made in 2018 and is located in Ermioni, Greece. Over the years he has participated in several artistic residencies, in 2021 Aneffort Art in London, and in 2020 as Artist in Residence at Muse at 269, and 'Re-connect' on a commission for the organization Sustainability First.
His most recent Solo shows were 'Over The Clouds' in 2022 at The Muse 269 and 'Life Found on the Moon' in 2021 at Tsivrikos Shake Gallery. His most recent Group shows were 'Salon' and 'Metamorphosis' at Tsivrikos Shake in 2022, Ingram Prize at Unit 1 Gallery, and ‘In the Kingdom of Clouds’ at the Museum of the Arts in Sintra in 2021. This year Hugo has been selected for a residency at Hestercombe Gallery in Somerset.
