Bradley Sweeting/ Spring Issue

Bradley Sweeting, a rising artist from Stoke-on-Trent, has always been captivated by various forms of creative expression. In 2019, his artistic journey took a definitive turn toward painting, which became his primary focus. Self-taught and deeply inspired by the works of Picasso, Rothko, Basquiat, and ancient Egyptian art. Bradley developed a distinctive style that blends expressive figurative representation with childlike depictions. His work offers a contemporary lens on social commentary, exploring complex themes with a deceptively primitive aesthetic. Through layered and evocative brushstrokes, Bradley delves into subjects such as death, humanity, animals, and religion, presenting them as archetypes that reflect his unique perspective on various subject matter. Even though he creates primarily for himself, his work has been well received by buyers and critics alike; featuring in private collections in the US and UK.
