Joe Bradley (born 1975)[1][2] is an American visual artist, known for his minimalist and color field paintings.
The artist had his first gallery exhibition in New York after earning his BFA degree from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 1999.
[6][7] Bradley has said his work is "intentionally shoddy" and "pathetic" thanks in part to his use of flimsy shop-bought canvases, but he selects his colors and surface textures with care.
[8] Bradley has developed a style of visual language that is fluid throughout both the art historical canon and the artist's personal experiences.
[12] Bradley's major institutional group exhibitions include Joe Bradley, Oscar Tuazon, Michael Williams, The Brant Foundation Art Study Center, Greenwich, CT, US (2018); New York Painting, Kunstmuseum Bonn, Bonn, DE (2015); The Forever Now: Contemporary Painting in an Atemporal World, curated by Laura Hoptman, Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY, US (2014);[13] and EXPO 1: NEW YORK, curated by Klaus Biesenbach, MoMA PS1, Long Island, NY, US (2013).
