Art: Donald Bradford
Lazarus, a biblical symbol of hope and rebirth, is at the core of Donald Bradford’s new body of work. Bradford revisits mythical narratives explored in the early years of his career with a fresh perspective. Themes include Icarus, Madame Butterfly, Jacob Wrestling and Irene, the Patron Saint of Nurses. Bradford paints from photographs and live models, who he views as collaborators, providing their own insight and energy. His friend and model, aptly named Irene, was first painted by Bradford in the 1980’s during the AIDS crisis. Now, using photos of her from 1985, Bradford revisits the theme of Irene in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Andrea Schwartz Gallery, 545 Fourth Street.
