Chris Bradley

  • Chris Bradley’s sculptures assemble found materials in structural and symbolic juxtapositions that open up, rather than prescribe, associations. At times, the assemblages take on anthropomorphic status, engaging a surrealist trompe l’oeil in space. With a heavy dose of humor, these confounding artworks rely on their objecthood to express the futility of logic in traditional narrative structures.
