ICA Boston | 19 November, 2010 - 13 March, 2011


Scorched Earth 2006
Bradford is a prolific LA-based contemporary artist. His art is made from aged billboard peelings and is generally in the vein of abstract canvas works, although he also experiments with multimedia. Scorched Earth is one of his more figural works, representing the race riots in Tulsa in 1921.

The exhibition currently at the ICA is well worth a look. Bradford has created a unique body of work that is stunning and distinctly African-American. His work is dynamic, but highly-focused on the slow process of making.

  1. This is the guy you told me about, no? I'm going to see if I can find any of his work in LA - and then when I do you can come out and see it with me! -
