JOE BRADLEY – ‘LOTUS BEATERS’
\nMAY 17 – JUNE 29, 2013
\nGavin Brown’s enterprise, NYC<\/p>\n

the WALL OF DRAWINGS . . . in the last room.<\/p>\n

here’s the premise:<\/p>\n

it’s funnie to think of JOE BRADLEY and KANYE WEST, in the same breath – let alone the same sentence.
\nfor one thing . . .
\nKANYE can be annoying, whereas JOE BRADLEY: never.
\nbut both produce work, that speaks l-o-v-e, and: cries out . . . ANGST. <\/p>\n

as for drugs, Lotus eaters and . . . beaters !!<\/p>\n

KANYE says it best:<\/p>\n

“my ego is my DRUG. My drug is, I’m better than all you other motherf—ers.”<\/p>\n

WELCOME TO THE ART WORLD !!<\/p>\n

KANYE WEST – W MAG QUOTE: HOLLYWOOD REPORTER<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthe last room presents a wide, yet solemn wall .. of Bradley drawings – on paper.
\nmost are charcoal. some are crayon and charcoal, some are pastels.
\nthey go back to Joe’s ‘figurative’ roots.
\nthey seem as if they sprung freely – but, questioningly.<\/p>\n

take a note: the wall of drawings is just as ‘grid’ organized as the individual compositions of the paintings.<\/p>\n

so much for free fall. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nbut no doubt, the free fall is in the drawings, for sure. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nand so is EGO.
\nif A is for – angst.
\nthan . . . “B” is for – BRADLEY ?!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLotus eater, or Beater ?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBeater . . . <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBRADLEY and KANYE, now that’s . . . <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\na funnie . . thought.<\/p>\n
