Untitled

2026

This ink on paper work presents a densely layered composition of gestural marks, organic forms, and architectural fragments rendered in deep blacks and grays against a warm cream ground. The composition reads as a frieze, with silhouetted shapes suggesting both figural and structural elements arranged horizontally across the picture plane. Bradley's approach here synthesizes abstraction with figurative suggestion, employing splattering, drawing, and painterly techniques that echo both historical abstraction and contemporary gestural practice. The work engages with the gallery's spatial presentation while maintaining its own autonomous visual language, characteristic of Bradley's position within contemporary painting's ongoing dialogue with figuration, materiality, and urban imagery.
