Publication: Samuel Nnorom

This publication offers a comprehensive overview of the recent work of Samuel Nnorom, bringing together the latest pieces presented by Primo Marella Gallery in Lugano in 2025. It captures a pivotal moment in the artist’s practice, reflecting both continuity and experimentation within his evolving sculptural language.

Nnorom’s art is characterized by his signature use of textiles, foam, and thread—materials drawn from everyday life that he transforms into complex, voluminous forms. These vibrant constructions explore themes of identity, memory, and the social fabric that connects individuals and communities. Often inspired by his personal history and cultural background, his works resonate on multiple levels, intertwining the physical and the metaphorical.

Through layering, binding, and tension, Nnorom creates dynamic structures that speak to the fragility and resilience of the human experience. His practice moves fluidly between the intimate and the monumental, offering viewers a space for reflection, questioning, and connection.

This latest edition of the catalog not only documents his most recent output but also situates his work within broader conversations around contemporary African art and global sculptural practices. It is a testament to an artist whose voice continues to grow in depth, complexity, and relevance.
