VALS: Katherine Bradford

Tuesday, March 26th

Prentis 101, 6:30pm

 

Katherine Bradford is a figurative painter represented in New York by CANADA and in Berlin by Haverkampf Gallery.  In June she will have a solo show in London with Campoli Presti Gallery.

In 2011 she received a Guggenheim and in 2012 a Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant.  She has been a Senior Critic at Yale School of Art and a Resident Faculty at Skowhegan School in Maine.

This past season she has exhibited her work at Pace Gallery in New York, Union Gallery in Cologne, Chrystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas and the Nerman Museum in Kansas.

“My paintings as a whole celebrate the mystery of ceremony, the directness of folk art and the immediacy of expressionistic mark making.  They hint at stories of survival and escape as well as our desire for community on the one hand and quiet solitude on the other.  I mean to call attention to both image and mark as a way to prolong the act of looking and to convey the excitement of embarking on a quest where the outcome in unknown.”
