Bradford’s large-scale paintings are recognized for a complex abstraction of form and intricate layering.Using collage and décollage, Bradford preserves the physical characteristics of his source material, exposing the tension between precise painterly gestures and the three-dimensionality of the found objects. Many canvases resemble roadmaps or aerial views—topographies of the city’s physical landscape as well as its social, economic, and cultural character.
