BEAUTY: Painting--Joe Bradley

Joe Bradley works in many different styles but I am most attracted to his abstracts. The color and shapes are so pleasing. He reportedly drops the canvases on the cement floor of his studio so the paint can pick up dirt and texture. The surprising thing about these pieces is their size! Look at the last photo of an exhibition view--the canvases are huge.

Bradley has no dedicated website, but he has a presence on Artnet and at the Saatchi.
