Unyimeabasi Udoh (b. 1996, Chapel Hill, USA) is a London-based Nigerian American artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans printmaking, drawing, sculpture, and installation. Working at the intersection of sign and symbol, Udoh explores questions of legibility, perception, and the construction of meaning through a visual language informed by urban infrastructure, everyday vernacular, and canonical iconography alongside the visual tapestries of sea, sky and land. Building on the traditions of Post-Minimalism and Post-Conceptual Art, Udoh’s work frequently invokes absence, the void, and deferred meaning, transforming everyday visual codes into meditations on ambiguity and the absurdity of language.

Recent solo exhibitions include No Vehicles, Alma Pearl, London (2026); Flood at Piccalilli, London (2024); Withdrawing, Kip, London (2024); A Gain at Night Café, London (2023); and Ave at the Royal Academy of Arts, London (2023). Recent group exhibitions include Towards an Affinity of Hammers, CALM – Centre d’Art La Meute, Lausanne (2025–2026); Maison CLEARING, C L E A R I N G, Basel (2025); Veil & Void, Xxijra Hii, London (2025); Handful of Dust, Palmer Gallery, London (2025); Whipped, Under the Spell, London (2025); Manifold, Alára, Lagos (2024); Itinéraires Fantômes, CAPC Musée d’art Contemporain de Bordeaux; Great Expectations, General Assembly, London (2023); and Bitch Magic, Alma Pearl, London (2023).

Udoh received a BA from Columbia University and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Most recently, they completed the Starr Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Arts in 2023.
