2015 Juror of Awards: Bradley Butler
Bradley Butler was born on a cold December morning in 1983 in Upstate New York. He grew up in a small town 30 minutes east of Rochester and most likely, always knew he was an artist. He has been making and exhibiting his work since 2006 and has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in Upstate/Western NY, New York City; Georgetown, KY; and Portland, OR.
Butler received an M.F.A. from Rochester Institute of
Technology in 2010 and his work has been featured in Studio Visit Magazine, vol. 9 (Open Studios Press). In addition to making art, Butler also holds the position of
Gallery Director at Main Street Arts in Clifton Springs, a gallery showing contemporary art and fine craft.
Artist Statement: I paint to disconnect from reality and then I keep painting to disconnect from the act of painting itself. In the studio, I use chance encounters with my chosen art materials to make lines and amorphous shapes. The remnants of my activity become something to be referenced as mirroring reality, something familiar to both the viewer and myself. The simultaneous feelings of dread and curiosity are achieved personally while I make art and it is my goal to
make people feel the same thing when they look at my work.
