Katherine Bradford

Hand Shake

2019

Katherine Bradford's "Hand Shake" is a two part acrylic on canvas work that explores human connection through the intimate gesture of a handshake. Bradford's characteristically loose, gestural brushwork and vibrant color palette animate the composition, creating a sense of immediacy and emotional resonance. The diptych format emphasizes the relational dynamic between the two figures, a formal choice that underscores the work's meditation on human interaction and touch.
