Starin' Through My Rear View

2006

Mark Bradford's *Starin' Through My Rear View* (2006) is a richly layered work combining acrylic paint, paper collage, and wax resin on canvas, reflecting the artist's signature process of building and excavating accumulated urban materials. Bradford incorporates fragments of found paper and commercial signage, embedding the textures and rhythms of Los Angeles street life into the surface. The wax resin seals and unifies these layers, creating a luminous, map-like composition that evokes themes of memory, navigation, and the overlooked landscapes of marginalized communities.
