Paige Bradley

Born 1974 in Carmel, California (USA) I knew I would be an artist by the age of nine. Immersed in nature and art, my fascination with the human figure began early. I believed that through the figure, an artist could speak a universal language that is timeless and essential. My work can be seen in galleries across the USA, London and Singapore. In 2007 I moved my studio from New York to London, where I currently work full time. Focusing on tensions and liberations in my work, I feel most of our emotions are locked into an existential cocoon. My sculptures show the human race as a singular individual, searching for connection, but finding only alienation.My recent work has become a symbol of struggle; both being contained and liberating ourselves from self-inflicted boundaries. Fears of ostracism, avoiding distinction and hiding from greatness are all thoughts that come to mind, creating these wrapped sculptures in extraordinary tension. The figures struggle to unveil themselves in order to become understood and known. It gives me a sense of unrest as if too much life is jammed into too restrictive of spaces.

I started drawing from the nude model by the age of ten and by fifteen I was studying intensely at university campuses during the summer months. Knowing that I was naturally a sculptor, at seventeen I had cast my first bronze sculpture.Educated at Pepperdine University, I spent a year in Florence, Italy before continuing my education at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Here I furthered my sculpture education and learned to paint and print in several different mediums. I can paint, draw and sculpt, but it always seems to be based around the figure and capturing the human condition. I have had a professional studio for the past twenty years in California, New York, and London.
