“I like to see what someone who doesn’t draw does draw when they draw. It’s always the same stuff...I’ve been paying attention to graffiti too, tags and that sort of thing. It’s funny. It’s just visual background noise until you start to engage with it, and then you just realize that it’s everywhere.” - Joe Bradley
2010
Joe Bradley explores the visual language of graffiti and street art through mixed media on canvas, examining how tags and informal marks function as visual background noise that becomes meaningful upon closer engagement. This work combines oil, spray paint, and mixed media to investigate the intersection between intentional artistic practice and the spontaneous mark-making found in urban environments.
