About the Work
Slater Bradley’s The Belly of the Whale presents the artist’s doppelgänger in front of New York’s Guggenheim in a casual, snapshot-style photograph characteristic of the artist’s conceptual practice.
This piece represents a seminal moment in Bradley’s career—his exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum, one of the most prestigious art institutions in the world—and is a great addition for anyone looking to start a collection of emerging artists.
About the Artist
Best known for his cinematic homage to tragic figures from the annals of pop culture, Slater Bradley makes work in a variety of media, including video, photography, and installation. Born from the artist's interest in iconic figures and doppelgängers, Bradley's cinematic technique draws from the legacies of Stanley Kubrick, Jean-Luc Godard, and the history of experimental film. His references to popular cult heroes Joy Division, Kurt Cobain, and River Phoenix, as well as his collaborations with friend and lookalike Benjamin Brock, have earned him comparisons with Andy Warhol.
Proceeds from the sale of this work will benefit the Guggenheim Museum.
