(b. 1982, Regina, Canada) lives and works in London, England. He graduated with an MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2009, and is widely regarded as one of the UK’s leading mid-career figurative painters.
The 37 year-old artist has had no-less than fifteen sold-out solo exhibitions worldwide, including Canada, Cape Town, Europe, South Africa, and the USA. He has exhibited his work at various international art fairs including Untitled Miami (2019); Zona Maco, Mexico City (2019); Pulse Miami (2016); and Volta Basel (2015). Salgado was the youngest artist to ever receive a survey-exhibition at The Canadian High Commission in London in 2017, entitled TEN. He actively donates to various charities, and his donations to the Terrence Higgins Trust have raised over £110,000 in 6 years, including £35,000 for a single piece in 2020. In March 2019, he successfully entered the secondary market with a piece in a Strauss & Co auction in South Africa. His works have been collected extensively in private and public collections worldwide.
