Katherine Bradford

Katherine Bradford’s mesmerizing yet rigorous visual language freely allows potential narratives to unfold and interweave with the investigation of form and color. Vast expanses of color divide her canvases in to distinct planes introducing spatial element such as the sea and the sky, beaches and poolsides. These monochromatic backgrounds are occupied by human figures, often swimmers and bathers, roughly sketched. Bradford’s practice has honed over four decades, maturing into a nonacademic, creative freedom that resonates deeply. It is her commitment to dynamic change and to the fluid state of human togetherness that Bradford so poignantly expresses in her radiant fields.
