Book Overview
Bradford's monumental abstract compositions meditate on social structures and their effects on marginalized people
The work of Los Angeles-born-and-based artist Mark Bradford (born 1961) is deeply rooted in socio-political issues, often reflecting the lived realities of Black Americans and drawing from his own experiences growing up in Los Angeles. His distinctive abstract compositions are crafted from found objects and everyday materials like posters and newspaper clippings, many of which are sourced from his hometown.
This volume accompanies the eponymous retrospective exhibition of the artist's work at Amorepacific Museum of Art, featuring 20 dynamic works spanning two decades, including painting, sculpture, installation and video. These works poignantly reflect the socio-political challenges faced by vulnerable populations, offering an immersive exploration of race, gender and economic inequality, and presenting a compelling narrative that engages both the mind and the senses. Art historical essays and a comprehensive interview with the artist provide a seminal overview of important aspects of his practice.
