Originally from Canada, his work has been shown throughout North America, including exhibitions at the Western Front in Vancouver and Leslie Tonkonow Gallery in New York. In May 2008, he will present his first L.A. solo show at LAXART. Jugdeo uses a playful and experimental approach to art-making which considers the process as important as the final result. His work draws from sources as varied as popular film and television, avant-garde theater and music, and theoretical and philosophical issues that are relevant to art.
