Camilla Ridgers (b. 2000, Devon) is an artist working across painting, drawing, and computational processes. A graduate of Fine Art and Creative Computing from Central Saint Martins, her practice investigates image production and classification at the intersection of material and algorithmic systems. Beginning with visual material drawn from her own archive, Ridgers processes imagery through computational frameworks before translating it into physical form, treating digital output as an intermediate stage rather than a resolved image. Distortions and errors are retained as the final work is formed by hand, keeping the image visibly shaped by both system and artist.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Fundación Maceta × Salomon during Mexico City Art Week (2026), the East Wing Biennale at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London (2025–2027), where she was presented alongside Yinka Shonibare, Jeff Wall, and Pipilotti Rist, and at Central Saint Martins, Candid Arts Centre, and the Yaa Centre, London. She was a nominee for the MullenLowe NOVA Award for Fresh Creative Talent (2024) and received Highly Commended at the Homiens Art Prize (2025). In 2025, she participated as a panellist in RE:VISION: In Conversation at the Courtauld, speaking on painting in the age of algorithms and shared authorship.
In parallel, Ridgers maintains an expanded practice encompassing curatorial projects, creative direction and writing. She has curated exhibitions including Uncensored at Cadid Arts Centre, Studio Jones: Six Painters, Matilda Rose, Wanderlust, and Bobbi's Bar at St. Clement Hotel, London. And has worked in creative direction with organisations including Artsy, Crisis Homeless Charity, GFF, and brands such as Tascha NYC and Dan Shake. Her writing appears in her column for El Economista, and she has contributed to and been featured in The Face, FLAUNT Magazine, 1883 Magazine, Art Daily, Grazia, and RUSSH, among others. She was interviewed by Forbes art critic Lee Sharrock following her participation in the East Wing Biennale.
Ridgers is the author of Gallerina, a photography and writing series, and forthcoming novel, documenting the world of gallery assistants across New York and London. The project, developed during her time as Gallery Associate at Timothy Taylor, New York, uses the figure of the gallerina as a lens through which to examine the aesthetics, labour, and social codes of the contemporary art world
