URBAN ARCHAEOLOGY: Fragments and Traces by Bradley Narduzzi

DHV ARTWORKS presents:

Urban Archaeology: Fragments and Traces-a solo exhibition of internationally-exhibited artist Bradley Narduzzi. The exhibition opens on March 15, from 12pm - 5 pm with an Artist Talk from 2-3 pm.

Narduzzi’s acclaimed Billboard Series is the centerpiece of this exhibition, alongside select works from his Linescape paintings and Totem sculptures. His work draws inspiration from Mexico City’s urban landscape, where layers of torn advertisements, fading posters, and weathered signage create a rich visual dialogue between the commercial and cultural histories of the city.

Since moving to Mexico City in 2000, Narduzzi has embedded himself in the city’s vibrant artistic community, developing a practice that blends architectural precision with expressive abstraction. His Billboard Series is not just inspired by the physical surfaces of Mexico City’s streets but also by the city’s layered narratives of history, memory, and cultural evolution.

Working with paint layered over paint on canvas, Narduzzi recreates the effect of time, decay, and exposure—capturing the beauty found in impermanence and visual fragmentation. His work examines the tension between public advertising and private memory, urban identity, and the fleeting nature of visual culture in contemporary cities.

Narduzzi’s work has been exhibited across Mexico, Europe, and Asia, and is held in numerous private, corporate, and institutional collections, including:

Querétaro Museum of Art, Querétaro, Mexico

Museum of Contemporary Art Monterrey (MARCO), Monterrey, Mexico

Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso, Mexico City

Corporate collections including Coca-Cola, Citibanamex, Grupo Bimbo, and Grupo Expansión

Narduzzi was awarded a prestigious Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship to study in Venice, Italy, where his fascination with architectural surfaces and cultural layering first took root.

Admission is free and open to the public.
