Katherine Bradford

Katherine Bradford has garnered international recognition for her distinctive approach to painting. Her work has been showcased in major solo exhibitions worldwide, including the Portland Museum of Art, Portland, Maine, United States (2022) and Halle für Kunst, Graz, Austria (2024). This is the artist’s second solo exhibition at the gallery, following her 2022 exhibition “Night Swimmers.”

The striking colors and compositions of her paintings has earned her widespread acclaim. Figures emerge mid-motion – swimming, dancing, walking, flying or resting – set against luminous fields of color where sea, sky, and land meet in vivid, dreamlike horizons. These scenes, while reminiscent of fleeting moments from daily life or cinematic fragments, resist clear narrative or interpretation. The figures, with their abstracted anatomies and faces, elude precise identification, yet their ambiguous gestures invite viewers into an intimate space of curiosity and recognition.
