Using collage and paint on paper, Mark Bradford’s Kryptonite possesses
an organic quality in its grid-like composition. Its convoluted
architecture and overlapping details radiate as a megalopolissprawl, a
seething microcosm of activity. Often compared to Piet Mondrian,
Bradford gives modernism’s vision of an ordered utopia a lethal reality
check as hard-edged borders and harmonious planes are exchanged for
independent non-defined forms engaging
in unruly turf-war. Evolving his surface as a highly textured
topography, Bradford uses gesture and mark-making to encapsulate the
dissonance and excitement of a metropolitan landscape. Josiah McElheny, sculptor www.andrearosengallery.com An End to Modernity
