Holtermann Fine Art is pleased to present Brandon Ndife: Palimpsests, the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery and his London debut.
Brandon Ndife: Palimpsests features work made in 2024, including wall-based sculpture, freestanding structures and works on paper. The exhibition takes its title from the concept of a palimpsest - a surface layered with traces of previous marks or writings - an idea that resonates with Ndife’s ongoing exploration of history, transformation and overlay.
Born in 1991 in Hammond, Indiana, and now based in Brooklyn, Ndife alters familiar domestic objects into layered, poetic sculptures. Cast-off furniture and household stuffs are reworked with resin, wood, foam, cement and other materials resulting in works that exist between the sculptural and the painterly - the poetic state invoked by palimpsest.
An exhibition text by Jon Wood accompanies the show.
