Terry Bradley
Born
in Belfast in 1965 Bradley has been pursuing his dream of becoming an artist from his youth.
His
early work was inspired by the ten years he lived and worked in Dublin. His distinctive line drawings
and atmospheric paintings capture the mood of many of Dublin and Belfast 's most memorable nightclubs
and bars.
The after hours scenes of his early work are based on the clubs and bars he frequented
and the people he knew there.
Most of his individual paintings are of strong, confident women from
the modelling and fashion world that he mixed in. They reflect the two sides of Terry's life - hard images
of after-dark nightlife stamped in the city's clubs and bars and a more gentle view of women after a
ballet performance. The two sides reflect the conflict in Bradley's personality and art, with his self-confessed
manic, dark side at odds with calmer more gentle periods.
Collectors often choose two and three paintings
at a time, unable to decide between such strong pieces and his work now features in collections in London,
America, Spain and New Zealand.
