An Organ Thing of the day for today, for that is what we are in theory doing here, cherry picking one thing, an Organ Thing for each day. A piece of music, a piece of art, a show, an exhibition, an album, a record, a painting, that was the idea…
Following on from the review of the his show on these pages when the exhibition first opened, a film of artist Brandon Ndife talking about his excellent Palimpsests show at London’s Holtermann Fine Art, a gallery based in Cork Street. The film is jsut down there, here’s a link to the piece that ran back on october 7th when the show first opened – ORGAN: Frieze Week – Here we go then, but where is the buzz? Well Brandon Ndife’s, Palimpsests at Holtermann Fine Art is at least a good start…
“”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 2023 – 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”.
Brandon Ndife is at Holtermann Fine Art until 29th November 2025. The gallery is at 30 Cork Street, London W1S 3NG. The space is open Tuesday to Friday 11:00-18:00 and Saturday 11:00-17:00. Entry is free.
