Reviews

a complex dialogue about America, painting, aesthetics, identity and history, as it pushes the boundaries of abstraction. The works make the urgency and immediacy of this moment physically palpable. I have long admired Mark's prophetic artistic voice, and with this presentation I truly experienced the unique alchemy of his vision.--Thelma Golden "The Art Newspaper"

one of America's most acclaimed painters--Jori Finkel "The New York Times"

Bradford's work embodies a generosity of spirit that, for all the cruelty of White House politicians, can never be occluded within the US landscape.--Mike Fox "Frieze"

His work, while full of uncompromising beauty and awe-inspiring technical prowess, confronts us with issues of race and queerness. At a time of political strife and regressive policies, Mark Bradford is just the artist we need right now.--Natalie Hegert "Huffington Post"

It's a panoramic offering that brings together the wise, ever-relevant words of James Baldwin and W.E.B. Du Bois, with the highly readable contributions of Anita F. Hill on the intersection of law, policy, art and injustice; Sarah Lewis on the art of productive dissent; and Zadie Smith on Bradford's video "Niagara" and the larger meaning of one's strut, swagger and sway.--Victoria L. Valentine "Culture Type"

Mark Bradford is managing to produce stunning, kinetic abstract paintings--a genre that traditionally refutes political expression--while also investing every project with meaningful efforts for social change.-- "Interview"

Mark Bradford is our Jackson Pollock.... Bradford's project sets out a powerful vision of the artist's role in society.--Andrew Goldstein "Artnet News"

True to the title of his exhibition, Bradford has led us through the dark handicaps, painful questions, and seething affliction that beset America, sending us off with a final vision of a defiant walk into the future.--Cara Ober "Hyperallergic"
