Katherine Bradford
______________________________________________

Katherine Bradford exhibits a new series of paintings that depict stylized ocean liners floating amidst a sea of gestural paint strokes. Bradford uses bold, saturated reds, blues and oranges in her compositions that evoke a childlike fascination with subject matter and the qualities of paint. The vivid colors and deceptively simple rendering of the ships express a light-hearted whimsical quality, while also conveying feelings of isolation and fortitude. Bradford is represented by Edward Thorp Gallery in New York City and Aucocisco Galleries in Portland, Maine. Bradford maintains studios in Brooklyn, NY and Brunswick, ME.
