Bernard Cameron

Bernard Cameron received his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees at the City University of New York and worked at the Studio Museum in Harlem. His other work included positions such as an illustrator for the United States Air Force and a freelance cartoonist. Cameron’s work uses abstract designs and compositional movement to play with the viewer’s interpretation of what they see. According to Cameron’s artist statement:

“…everything is everything. That is to say that there is nothing that deserves a greater importance than anything else… The only constant is rhythm. Every object, spoken word or space vibrates forever.”
