Unyimeabasi Udoh’s practice centres on legibility, the void, and the construction of meaning. Their art is largely one of appropriation and reproduction, with language as its primary material. Working across media including print, drawing, installation, and sculpture, they explore how systems—of communication, of knowledge, of beauty, of control—are built and maintained. Udoh holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BA from Columbia University. They were the 2022–23 Starr Fellow at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, where they live and work.
