Summary: | Weaving together both ironic and earnest cultural references and engagements with the tradition and aesthetics of paint on canvas, Bradley's maverick oeuvre is built on a diverse and deadpan visual language that defies easy categorization. In the new works, Bradley tempers the use of color in bold, primary swathes with approaches to form and surface that remain resolutely contingent. This exhibition was the 2017 Gagosian Oscar show, a highly anticipated annual fixture in the Los Angeles cultural calendar where the art, film, and celebrity communities join to celebrate a key gallery artist on the Thursday evening before the Academy Awards ceremony. Exhibition: Gagosian, Beverly Hills, USA (23.02.-08.04.2017)
