Joe Bradley (artist)

Joe Bradley (born 1975) is an artist based in New York City. He is also the former lead singer of the punk band Cheeseburger.
Early life and education.
Bradley was born in Kittery, Maine. He received his BFA in painting from Rhode Island School of Design in 1999.
Career.
Bradley makes casualist paintings resembling human figures from assembled canvases which reference Color Field painting and Minimalism. Bradley has said his work is “intentionally shoddy” and “pathetic” thanks in part to his use of flimsy shop-bought canvases, but he selects his colours and surface textures with care.
Art market.
Bradley was represented by Gavin Brown's Enterprise (2011–2015) and Gagosian Gallery (2015–2021) before moving to Xavier Hufkens and Petzel Gallery in 2021.
Bradley’s work breached the $1 million mark in 2014, when one of his abstract paintings on drop cloth sold for over $1.5 million at Christie’s London.
Personal life.
Bradley is married to designer Valentina Akerman.
