Robert Brady – New Work
December 16 – January 22, 2011
Reception: Saturday, December 18, 3:00 - 5:00 pm
Artist Biography
Robert Brady's exhibition of sculptures and drawings continues his rigorous and elegant inquiry of figurative abstraction. With his focused use of color and lexicon of graphic symbols, Brady invigorates basic yet bold constructions with his personal aesthetic of movement and cadence. Totemic and playful, these new wood and clay sculptures, along with works on paper, focus our attention on his energetic process and whimsical sense of humor. By creating i
magery with enigmatic symbols, Brady enlivens a primitive mixture of materials, deepening our understanding of his body of work. Robert Brady was a Professor in the Department of Art at California State University, Sacramento for thirty five years until his retirement in 2009.
