b. 1979, Melbourne, Australia
Graduating in 2013 with an MFA from Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne University, Ry David Bradley has exhibited internationally including LA, London, New York, Berlin, Brussels, Milan, Cologne, Sydney and Melbourne. His work often shifts media but always looks closely at painting in the 21st century, the new opportunities and the shortcomings in our digital moment. Recent solo exhibitions include Moonlight Painting at Gana Art Nineone in Seoul, GEN at Sullivan+Strumpf in Melbourne, NOVACENE: PORTRAITS OF A MACHINE at The Hole, and Life Drawing, at Allouche Benias Gallery in Athens. His work debuted in the USA with Bill Brady Gallery in Kansas City in 2015 with Access All Areas. His work is in public and private collections across the world, including at the Aldala Collection and the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.
