Following the success of his first solo show ‘Blue Collar Handjob’ at Serigraffeur gallery, Berlin, Bruï’s work follows his train of thought in a naturally biographical manner. As ‘BCH’ discussed the complex struggles of pursuing a labour of love before he picked up and left for Europe, ‘Resurfacing the M62’ embodies the magnetism of the North as Bruï returns to explore the deep-rooted pride associated with his home, during a restless period of life.
