Katherine Bradford (b. 1942, New York, New York) stages her figures in chromatic fields of deep blues, murky reds, and nocturnal violets, where swimmers, superheroes, and solitary bodies drift between buoyancy and vulnerability. Her loose, almost naive brushwork belies a careful calibration of mood, allowing humor and melancholy to surface at once. In these suspended environments—part sea, part sky, part psyche—Bradford paints not heroic narratives, but quiet states of becoming, where uncertainty itself feels luminous.
