Brandon Jamal (b. 1995, Los Angeles, CA) is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work exists between the worlds of sculpture, photography, film, and performance. Drawing upon his hometown for inspiration, Brandon turns a blind eye to the glitz and glam and focuses his attention on the rich culture and history of the city he grew up in. Nostalgia, temptation, abstraction, and childlike wonder, these are key elements of his work. With a BFA in Dance and a BA in Political Science from Loyola Marymount University, an earnest quest for knowledge and free flowing creativity combine effortlessly across mediums to convey stories about humanity, connectedness, and multiplicity from an Afro-American perspective.

For nearly a decade Brandon has had an illustrious career as a professional dancer in the entertainment industry, working with some of the most notable names in history. However most recently, he has shifted his attention more fiercely to his metal work. Using copper piping and his body he stretches and shapes the matter to mimic found hair in everyday life. ‘The Curls’, as he calls them, have been exhibited in Parables of Dreamers with Unmet at Valence Projects (2025, Los Angeles), Black in every color at the Andaz West Hollywood (2025, Los Angeles), and The Way Back Home with Unmet at the Kwame Adusei Flagship store (2025, Los Angeles). As a filmmaker his first short film B.L.U.E. — Print debuted at the Berlin Short Film Festival (2022), winning the award for Best Experimental Short. The film went on to play in several other festivals, winning four additional awards. Brandon also won the award for Best New Director at the Dance Camera West Festival (2023). Photographically, Brandon has spent most of his free time in the last two years documenting African American women for an ongoing photo series titled A Whisper in the Room, captured in black and white medium format and 35mm film.
