Bradley Wester

Bradley Wester's work has evolved into a hybrid-practice combining painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, & digital imaging into large installations with unique reference to color & light & space. He's interested in traversing boundaries of 3 content areas. Transparent-Mystery: Transforming everyday materials into art with limited alteration so as to remain recognizable as they inexplicably begin to appear mysterious & opaque. Fragment-Whole: Creating large installations that 1st appear as a single whole, but which then appear to break down into object-clusters, which break down further into separate parts, only to reverse again into the one visual whole. Time-Continuum: Making diverse cultural references that link the historical with contemporary; Altering older work & combining it with new, & visually & conceptually linking my current exhibition with one from my past.
