1 MAY until 6 JUN 2026
Opening – 1 MAY 2026, 6-9 pm

In her mysterious figurative compositions and vibrant, luminous color palettes, Katherine Bradford (b. 1942, New York) skillfully combines the traditions of Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting with contemporary questions of identity and gender, typically placing her figures in dreamlike and otherworldly settings devoid of spatial perspective, such as outer space or the open sea. Bradford’s motifs including floating figures, swimmers, flying supermen and -women, couples, or men in suits, surrounded by planets, houses, or beaches often seem vulnerable, awkward, and exposed. Her paintings draw their atmospheric, metaphorical power from this playful engagement with emotion and humor. Interested in delving into the depths of “who we are, how we fit in… how we look and interact with one another,” Katherine Bradford employs the strategies of abstraction and androgyny to explore ideas of self and identity.

Her upcoming solo exhibition ALLTAG as part of this year’s Berlin Gallery Weekend will feature new works by the 83-year-old New York-based artist, who will be present at the opening. This is Katherine Bradford’s forth solo exhibition in the gallery.
