about
Bradly approaches the process of beginning each new series with a dadaist-like ethos. Through the process of making, he then refines the visual composition and visual language of works; fusing mediums like watercolor and acrylic paintings with found objects, installations, scents, and melodies. Each project is an expedition, where collaboration, individualism, intentionality, happenstance, history, and imagination weave together a narrative that extends beyond the work itself.
In addition to solo and group exhibitions, Bradly’s mixed media art practice has been part of regional exhibitions and major art fairs in Seattle, Philadelphia, Miami and New York. At the heart of Bradly's philosophy lies an unwavering commitment to authenticity and openness.
Beyond his art practice, Bradly is a respected voice in the architectural community and founder of OYAM.
When not immersed with a current project, Bradly finds solace in nature's embrace. A self-proclaimed introvert, the allure of a forest campfire serves as a retreat, a reminder of simpler times and the boundless inspiration found therein.
