    In this work Joe Bradley elaborates on a form of expression that he developed in the early 2000s. Conventionally the canvas is simply the carrier of the painting – in this case it takes on the leading role as primary material within the work itself.

    Bradley uses the canvas as a sculptural form, creating a sense of depth with multiple layers - facing and facing away from the viewer - and experimenting with the medium’s physical properties. The only information the artist grants the viewer in terms of its meaning is the title of the work itself, NDE, which is an abbreviature for the term Near Death Experience. Subtle color scheme and gestural marks on the front of the canvas, vivid colouring and a typical suggestion of a white painted figure on the back, provide additional depth to the work.

    //
    En esta obra, Joe Bradley profundiza en una forma de expresión que desarrolló a principios de la década de 2000. Convencionalmente, el lienzo es simplemente el soporte de la pintura; en este caso, asume el papel protagonista dentro de la obra. Bradley utiliza el lienzo como una forma escultórica, absteniéndose de añadir capas de pintura, dejando que hable por sí mismo. La única información que el artista proporciona al espectador en cuanto a su significado es el propio título de la obra, NDE, que es una abreviatura del término Near Death Experience (experiencia cercana a la muerte). Las sutiles marcas gestuales, el deterioro visible en el lienzo y sus numerosas imperfecciones aportan una profundidad adicional a la obra.
