ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By
Gregory & Ernest Disney-Britton
Abstract artist,
Mark Bradford tracks racial, gender, and social identity. In his paintings, videos, and sculptures, he merges the methods of outsider artists with black abstract artists of the 1960s. Racial justice is a dominant theme, and two works standout. Most recently, his
criminal justice work, "
Life Size," an image of a police body camera isolated on a light-colored background. The other is “
Mithra," his Noah’s Ark inspired sculpture and response to Hurricane Katrina. “Mithra" is headed to China, and that makes Mark Bradford our
artist of the week.
