Ohne Titel (Buoy). 2014
Mixed-Media-Installation
The fifteen Untitled (Buoy) works (2014) installed on the façade of Bait Obaid Al Shamsi belong to Bradford’s most recent series, which draws inspiration from medieval and Renaissance maps and the fantastical, frightening creatures that inhabit their depictions of distant oceans or unexplored regions of the globe. Their swollen structure extends the maritime theme, while twine and coloured paper that has been torn, painted, sanded and otherwise ravaged evoke a panoramic vista surrounded by water – or possibly, a monster floating at sea. These dense, complex compositions reflect Bradford’s own sense of geological and geographical exploration.
