Reviews
'Three' by Peter Bradburn, Judges' Award
Kaipara Art Awards judge, Richard Cranenburgh.
Kaipara Lifestyler
'Kaipara Art Awards in Review' Thursday 12 July, 2018:
“I kept revisiting this work throughout the judging process. Peter's work reminded me of a Ralph Hotere or Colin McCahon — simple images and powerful words – both these artists were ahead of their time. So Peter, keep on track and remember less is more.”
Otago Daily Times, Art Scene, 15 March 2018. James Dignan
“Peter Bradburn is a poet, musician, and artist. His images are brutally bold, with a mix of abstraction and pictorialism reminiscent of mid-20th century schools of art, such as CoBrA. His works, all untitled, range from vividly coloured images featuring seemingly malevolent seahorse-like figures through to an effective white-on-white impastoed cruciform work.”
Peter's paintings and drawings are held in private collections in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and the United States.
Two excellent recent articles (May 2019) written in conjunction with Peter's solo show at Megan Dickinson Gallery can be seen on this website here.
