Featured Artist: Mark Bradford at The Hammer Museum

September 29, 2015

The Hammer Museum recently hosted a stunning solo exhibition of L.A. based artist Mark Bradford.  This image is a map excavated by Mark through layers of paint and drywall depicting the HIV diagnoses in the U.S. as of 2009.  The title, “Finding Barry” refers to one of the earliest lobby wall works by S.F. based Barry McGee.  Other pieces in the “Scorched Earth” show are inspired by the 1992 riots, which Bradford experienced firsthand from his studio in Leimert Park.
