A recipient of a 2009 MacArthur Foundation Award (known as the “genius grant”), Bradford uses found materials—peeling movie posters, homemade flyers, salvaged plywood, even the endpapers used to perm black hair—to create his vibrant, textured compositions. Pop culture, identity politics, the history of collage, mapping and abstract painting are just a few of his influences. The first survey exhibition of the artist’s work, Mark Bradford features 35 works from the past decade, including painting, sculpture, installation and video. more Read the press release The first survey exhibition of the artist’s work, Mark Bradford is a touring exhibition organized by the Wexner Center for the Arts, The Ohio State University.
