Background
William Bradley studied at York St. John University (BA Hons Art and Design, 2004-07) and Wimbledon College of Art (MA Fine Art- Painting, 2007-08). His work is collected throughout UK and Europe in private collections along with University of the Arts London.

His work and inspirations
William’s work looks to question, how meaning is created within abstract painting. He comments, “by readdressing abstractions significance within Modernism, I hope to both re-establish a connection to modernist approaches but also question their motives, embracing quotation and references to popular culture as a means of questioning the autonomy of abstract painting.”

Recent Exhibitions
He has recently exhibited as a finalist in the Catlin Prize and at the ‘At Home’ Maddox Arts exhibition, in London. Last year, William’s work was featured as part of the ‘Future Map 08’ at the David Roberts Art Foundation in Fitzrovia, London, exhibited within ‘Big Trouble’ at the House Gallery, Camberwell, along with showing in the Thoresby Gallery, Newark, the Wimbledon MA Show, and in group exhibitions at MiniMay, Eye to Eye Gallery, Newcastle, ‘Approaches to What?’ exhibition at The Nunnery, London and at the Deutsche Postbank, London.

He currently lives and works in London and Yorkshire.
