« The alchemical and performative processes of painting are the foundation of my creative practice. »
Virginia Bradley is a distinguished American artist who has received numerous prestigious painting fellowships including from the McKnight Foundation, Minnesota State Arts Board and Arts Midwest NEA. She employs transparent film and silk as a foundation for her works and their correlating theme of water, before using a diverse range of materials to compose paintings that question the history, origin, meaning and authenticity of the image itself. Through vivid colours and a close engagement with her chosen materials, Bradley ultimately seeks to offer alternative perceptions to certainty.
