Ronald Abdou Ngum Kiloh (b. 1999) is a Cameroonian-born multidisciplinary practitioner whose work approaches transposition as both method and material logic. He completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Cape Town in 2023. Shaped by the overlapping legacies of English and French postcolonial traditions and by Christian, Islamic, and African Traditional belief systems, his practice draws on lived experience to examine how structures of identity, knowledge, power, and perception are carried, displaced, and re-read.
Working across painting, sculpture, photography, performance, animation, textile, and video, Abdou develops visual systems and operative conditions through which forms, figures, and ideas are tested, repositioned, and re-encountered rather than resolved. He treats each work as a provisional configuration within a larger, evolving framework. Through interactive and hybrid forms, his practice foregrounds process, iteration, and relational exchange as central to meaning-making.
​
Abdou has participated in several group shows locally and internationally, including the Intercontinental Biennale in Panama (2026). Additionally, he was the recipient of the Cecil and Thelma Skotnes Scholarship (2022) and a Japan Institute Scholarship (2023).
