Terry BradleyBorn in Belfast in 1965, Bradley’s early work was inspired by the ten years he lived and worked in Dublin. His distinctive line drawings and atmospheric paintings capture the mood of many of Dublin and Belfast’s most memorable nightclubs and bars. The after hours scenes of his early work are based on the clubs and bars he frequented and the people he knew there.
Most of his individual paintings are of strong, confident woman from the modelling and fashion world. They reflect the two sides of Terry’s life – hard images of after-dark nightlife stamped in the city clubs and bars and the dramatic images of Burlesque dancers from the turn of the century in Europe’s capital cities. “La Belle Epoque”.
Terry’s series of paintings of woman also reflect a recent trip to New York which inspired a raw series of oil sketches of his trademark Manhattan dancers. “I’ve always found New York to be inspirational.” he said. “Freedom and self-expression is something I aspire to for myself and I find it very liberating to just sit and absorb the city. That and the whole world of Burlesque is a great combination, and it works for me!”
Bradley has now launched a series of limited edition giclee prints, printed on heavy weight textured fine art paper. All prints are hand signed, stamped and numbered by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
