His art rises from the ashes of struggle and hardship, but perhaps more importantly, from a furious curiosity and biological necessity to craft, transform something and give it new meaning. Take his sculptures for instance, turning remnants of everyday life into something chaotic, joyous and mysterious, as a reflection of life’s rich complexity. This same spirit pulses through his dense avant-garde blues, in which the groovy and gloomy undertones feel almost undefinable. Above it all soars Lonnie Holley, forever new, lighting up the world’s disarray with his poetry and mesmerizing melodies. Captured at TivoliVredenburg's Ronda on Friday, 7 November 2025.
