About The Work
Counter Editions's first edition with New York-based artist Joe Bradley coinciding with a solo exhibition 'Drawings' at Gagosian Geneva of new and recent works in graphite, charcoal, ink and crayon. Though many of Bradley's paintings look abstract, the artist says he often works from some figurative source material, which gets obscured as he adds layer upon layer of paint onto his unprimed canvases. His charcoal-on-paper drawings of faces and cars, meanwhile, are both minimalist and primitive. Sometimes his titles, such as 'All Duck' or 'Mother and Child' seem to allude to obscured images, while others hint at both low and highbrow influences, such as the 1970s TV show The Love Boat, and T S Eliot's 1940 poem 'East Coker'.
