Joe Bradley (artist)

Joe Bradley (born 1975) is an artist based in New York.

Bradley was born in Kittery, Maine. He makes paintings resembling human figures from assembled canvases which reference Color Field painting and Minimalism. Bradley has said his work is “intentionally shoddy” and “pathetic” thanks in part to his use of flimsy shop-bought canvases, but he selects his colours and surface textures with care.

He received his BFA in painting from Rhode Island School of Design in 1999.
