Soft ground etching on 175 gsm Zerkall buff laid paper. Hand-signed by artist, Signed in the bottom right corner. Publisher: Counter Editions.

On 175gsm Zerkall buff laid paper, Bradley builds a large hieratic profile head from stacked rectangular fields of charcoal soft-ground etching: a strong dark brow, a long sloped nose, a heavy block jaw — half cubist glyph, half Easter Island stone. The image hangs between abstraction and figuration in his characteristic deadpan voice. Soft ground etching, hand-signed in the bottom right corner, published by Counter Editions. To acquire a Bradley etching is to invest in one of the most consistently celebrated American painters working today — a confident, characterful work to collect.

Joe Bradley (USA, 1975) is a contemporary artist recognized for his minimalist paintings and abstract compositions.

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
