Art Auction - Arms Around the Child

Born in Turks and Caicos, raised between New York and Miami, Bradley Theodore eventually moved back to New York where his artistic career took off. Theodore’s beginnings as an artist came from adorning the streets of New York City with vibrant, chromatic murals of skeletons depicting contemporary pop culture and fashion “royalty.” Bradley Theodore is known for his colourful paintings and prints of fashion icons.
 
He is a multi-disciplinary artist whose iconoclastic approach to art can be found internationally, from 10-foot murals on the streets of New York, Tokyo, and Milan, to sold-out solo exhibitions in London. Evoking the universality of colour, skeletons, and celebrity, Bradley Theodore distils figures to skeletal forms, a confrontation that the artist calls “an act of living”, pushing colour to express memory, emotion, and lived experiences.
 
Theodore’s portraits juxtapose the legendary and mortal qualities of modern and contemporary fashion icons, and the artist has become a staple in the art and fashion scene in New York City. Theodore has collaborated with popular artists and brands on creative projects, including Moët, Rolls-Royce, and Moleskine.
