Artist Bio:
American Artist Bradley Carter is an award winning, international selling artist who grew up perusing his passion for art in Virginia before moving to the North Carolina in 2007, where he currently resides in Wilmington. He predominately creates in the medium of painting with his passion in Abstract Expressionism, but his works also include mixed media, paint skins, and furniture. Bradley received his BFA in 2002 from Virginia Commonwealth University in Painting and Print Making, but didn’t pursue art career fulltime until 2013.His work is rich in Abstract Expressionism and with a focus in composition, movement, texture, and color theory. Since returning full time to painting, Bradley has taken part in numerous national and regional group exhibitions from WHQR Gallery and Cameron Art Museum here in Wilmington to National Juried exhibitions across the country from Virginia to Wisconsin. Bradley has a consistent stream of solo shows, national juried shows, and private shows, and has sold work to private and public collectors around the world. Currently Bradley’s work is represented at Art in Bloom Gallery, Eclipse Gallery, and on display at The George on the River walk in Wilmington, NC and his original paint skin books are sold at Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum in SC. His work has also been reviewed in several local and international articles and his work has been seen in TV and Movies, like ABC's secrets lies, TNT’s Good Behavior, Scream 5, Starz Hightown, and Fox’s our kind of people.
