Joe Bradley

Born 1975, he lives and works in New york.

Joe Bradley’s wide expressive range is strikingly basic, spontaneous, explosive, infantile, colourful and joyful. Combining humour and mystery, the paintings that he makes in oil, grease pencil and pencil constitute a crude, deliberately regressive landscape, like children’s drawings in crayon. Without a doubt, there is something childlike about the artist’s work, linked to the energy and pleasure of painting and the use of giant, almost “scribbled” motifs. “Chaotic, full of contradictions and incomprehension”, his canvases are a mirror image of his vision of the world.

For le Printemps de septembre and les Abattoirs – Musée Frac Occitanie Toulouse, he produces a new series of paintings.
