Monumental Ghostly Heights by Bradford Kessler

A good friend of mine and very talented artist, Bradford Kessler currently is hosting his solo Beijing debut exhibition at Da Feng Gallery in 798 from now until September 19.

Inspired by incidents relating to dreaming and escape, his exhibition references themes of conspiracy, movies, drugs, suicide and philosophy displayed in blueprints with bat blood, pretend B-Flick movie posters, and a set of abstract fiberglass sculptures coated in surfwax.

“An underlying thread of his works is the desire to escape humanness and discover what Walt Disney would call a “magic kingdom.” This search of a dream and the suspension of disbelief that supports it are evidence of a generation attempting to define and maintain their eternal youth. Kessler represents a generation of young artists rapidly surfing the internet, unafraid of pioneering new conceptual territories, and willing to dramatically expose themselves in the name of expression and creativity.”
