Joe Bradley, 35, is a man with two art shows running now in New York, each with works done in a totally different style. Take that, Picasso.
At Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, an established gallery in the West Village, Bradley is showing messy, large-scale abstract paintings made with oilstick instead of paint brushes. The works feature Bradley’s footprints, comic-book imagery, dirt, dust and references to abstract expressionism and primitivism. Prices range from $40,000 to $70,000.
