Get matched →This ambitious exhibition gave UK audiences access to some of the lesser-known work of American artist and musician Lonnie Holley (b.1950, Birmingham, Alabama). For more than four decades, Holley has been making work spanning sculpture, painting, music and moving image. Long recognised as an important figure in the Black Art tradition from the Southern States of America, Holley's work continues and extends a tradition of assemblage found in both African diasporic traditions as well as 20th century and contemporary American art. Holley's practice is informed by the poverty and hardships of his early childhood, his immersion in the civil rights movement, the legacies of slavery, and the systematic oppression and exploitation of Black people. While this biography now holds a somewhat mythic status, the exuberant, joyful and optimistic example of his life's work by far exceeds that story, speaking to our shared humanity and a love of the natural world.
