Mark Bradford-Artist

Mark Bradford is a contemporary artist who scavenges material from the streets and transforms into mural size art. Mr. Bradford's art comes from underrated communities in the great state of California (where he is from) and lets the world know what belies a community in need of financial and economic resources. Mr. Bradford has received numerous grants and participated in a number of respected art shows around the world. Recently, in New York City, Mr. Bradford and Kara Walker put up a small scale show for the Sikkema Jenkins Gallery in Chelsea. The work presented by these two talented African American artists showcased the updated versions of what they are working on in their respective studios. The presentation was incredible. Mr. Bradford continues to explore themes in a collage format, which is informative as well as imaginative.
