I really like the work of Mark Bradford mainly because I have never seen anything like it. I think that it is extremely creative that he came up with the idea to decollage and collage the signage off of fences in certain areas of Los Angeles. Bradford’s work is very abstract which is also a major factor in the way he thinks and sees things. For example the collages he makes he does on canvas so he looks at it as if it were a painting. I also think it’s interesting that he refers to himself as a “maker,” not an artist or painter. I like his style of art a lot because it is not just art, but the work of a craftsman too. He does need to view things abstractly, like he does, but also view it from the perspective of a builder or constructor. I did think the whole Laker’s jersey/dress thing was a very different experiment or message but I get what his point was.
