Atelier 1553 1553 Fourth Street, 5–8pm Artist Bradford Butler presents his show White Pavement. Bradford’s work of paintings, sculptures, drawings, and cups embody a multi-disciplinary practice rooted in the human experience. The history and modernization of the vessel and human body link a thread between disciplines. The paintings and sculptures are perforated and bloated. Torn and shredded. Vacant, hallow, and pillowing. They are twisted and mangled. They ooze and pop. Bleached. Washed. Stained. They are suggestions of the human experience. |
