Valentina Painting

Constance Brady (b. Wilmington, DE) moved to Brooklyn, New York in 1997 where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute and still holds her studio practice today. Her pursuit of painting has been lauded as "constant and profound" by Artist and Curator Ernesto Pujol who describes Constance's approach ". . .she pushes her painting medium, sampling from its rich historical archive, while at the same time trying to raise it to a new contemporary dimension". Ms. Brady's works have been exhibited and published internationally. Recognized as one of the world's top graffiti writers by Publisher's Weekly, paintings from Constance's "City Series", a body of work spanning from 2001 to 2006, are featured in Nicholas Ganz's Graffiti World (New York. Abrams, 2004. ISBN: 0810949792) and Graffiti Women (New York. Abrams, 2006. ISBN: 0810957477). An inspirited and drastic departure from the pictures of her "City Series", Ms. Brady's "The Trepanation Series" (2006-2008) was exhibited at her first solo show with Magnan Projects in Chelsea, NYC and at Miami's Pulse Art Fair. The artist is seeking new representation and looks forward to debuting her recent works by way of open studio tours.
