"Flicker", Lori Bradley 2017, 48" x 48"

Statement

My artwork is inspired by the great mid-century feminist artists who recognized and honored traditional women's decorative work and elevated it through their art - embracing all the pattern, the complexity, the bright colors, the swirling lines and shapes. Art trends tend towards simplification, but why simplify? The world is bright, intense and complex. Why not embrace it? I choose to do just that with my art.
