Free entry, Tuesday to Saturday, 10am until 4:30pm (4pm last entry)
Portraits of Brotherhood is a solo exhibition by London based artist Curtis Holder. Holder’s multi-layered pencil portraits seek to capture intimate moments in the lives of his subjects, delving into their shared history and experiences. Each artwork is born from profoundly personal conversations.
Holder’s subjects are Black men drawn from diverse walks of life. At once dynamic and tender, Holder’s portraits offer a multifaceted exploration of identity, masculinity, vulnerability and resilience against a backdrop of pervasive societal stereotypes.
