Mark Bradford is an American artist who works in a variety of mediums to produce abstract paintings that touch on ideas of individuality, belonging, and social justice. His works feature elements like hair, paper, and other objects and are inspired by his upbringing in African-American communities in Los Angeles. References to the past, present, and future, as well as personal and political themes, and the built environment, are common elements in Bradford's multilayered and textured canvases.
