Hugo Carter

Hugo Carter is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intricate intersections between memory, urban landscapes, and material transformation. Born in 1987 in Manchester, UK, Carter developed an early fascination with the traces of history embedded in everyday environments. After completing his BA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London, he honed his distinct approach by integrating found objects, photography, and site-specific installations.

Carter's practice often navigates themes of displacement and renewal, drawing on his experiences living in diverse cities such as Berlin, São Paulo, and New York. His evocative assemblages challenge viewers to reconsider the passage of time and the narratives hidden within discarded materials. Carter has exhibited widely, including solo and group exhibitions at The Whitechapel Gallery, Museum of Contemporary Art São Paulo, and Kunsthalle Zurich.

His work has been featured in leading art publications and is held in both public and private collections internationally. Now based in London, Carter continues to collaborate with architects, writers, and social historians, amplifying the resonant stories woven through the fabric of modern life.
