Silkscreen on paper - numbered and signed on the back

Family by Joe Bradley is a minimalist silkscreen print from 2017, rendered in black on a white background. The artwork features a simplified, almost childlike line drawing of what appears to be a ladder leading up to an elevated platform, upon which abstract, ambiguous forms rest. The thick, uneven lines lend a raw, unpolished quality to the piece, creating a sense of spontaneity and innocence. Bradley’s style often plays with reduction and simplicity, inviting viewers to interpret personal meanings from the sparse composition. This print is part of a limited edition, numbered and signed on the back, further emphasizing its unique, handcrafted character.

Joe Bradley (USA, 1975) is a contemporary artist recognized for his minimalist paintings and abstract compositions. Known for his use of bold, simplified forms and muted color palettes, his works explore the interplay between abstraction and representation, drawing inspiration from modernist traditions and art history.
