Kalm has been scooting around the New York art scene long enough to
know when an artist begins to reach "critical mass". This double header
of exhibitions by Joe Bradley signals his arrival. With an almost
whimsical use of Minimal tropes, Bradley drifts from one stylistic realm
to another, evoking a cast of art historical characters like a musician
performing a one-person medley of "Greatest Hits". "Mouth and Foot
Paintings" at Gavin Brown's Enterprise recalls Abstract Expressionism
and its exuberant 1980s iteration, Neo-Expressionism, while "Human Form"
at CANADA with a reduced palette and bold frontality riffs on Pop and
its formalistic and austere offspring Minimalism.
