Bradbury Mattes is a fine artist who resides in West Chester, Pennsylvania. After receiving his B. A. from Marlboro College, Vermont, he was classically trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Accomplished in many media, including figure sculpture, abstract metal sculpture, watercolor, collage and charcoal drawing, he has primarily focused on etching and oil painting in his current work. Recent exhibitions include Immaculata, Audubon, Squirrel Gallery, Sunset Hill Gallery, Historic Sugartown and many more.
Brad’s table this year was inspired by the Bauhaus art movement, whose best known painter was Paul Klee. Each panel of the table contains a distinct light source which then gradually dissipates from the brilliant center to deep darkness. The craftsmanship of the table is remarkable and enhanced by a natural crackling effect on the top which almost seems to express the power of the paint to break out of the boundaries set by the painter.
Bradbury Mattes is a third year Art of Caring artist!
