Peter Bradley's 'Burning On' at Karma Explores Six Decades of Abstract Painting
Peter Bradley's solo exhibition 'Burning On' at Karma presents new abstract paintings that continue his six-decade exploration of color as a portal. The works, created by pouring acrylic directly onto canvases laid flat, respond to the hues of his surroundings. Bradley's forms range from liquid and translucent to crystallized topographies. His first major body of work, made with a spray gun, liberated him from predetermined outcomes. The exhibition extends his visual language into new terrain.
