Project Ability : Artists : David Bradley

David Bradley

David Bradley attends Project Ability’s ReConnect programme.

David Bradley experiments with traditional methods of portraiture by applying crude marks to construct faces in a way that emphasises a theatrical intensity of his subjects. A recurring characteristic in David's work, his own signature mark, is the prominent red nose of which he applies with a quick stroke of the brush to complete his portrait. David paints past figures in his life or his own family members to represent his own social history.
