Tuesday, November 11Stupid Radcliffe Bailey thing for art...Radcliffe Bailey's work is central to the current Atlanta art world identity that has been defined by a recent explosion of talent. Bailey's art draws deeply from his memories, traditions, and cultural geography to create intricate works. His paintings lead you easily through passages of time, connecting elements in a dreamlike interrelationship. Bailey builds mysterious fields of imagery by combining color with photographs, postcards, notes and, often, found objects. Bailey works by patterning together vintage photographs, objects he collects, and painted words and maps in a many layered story which explores the both history of African Americans, as well as Bailey's own personal history and influences. These elements are held together by his mastery of formal balance, rhythm and vivid color. His more recent work has progressed into the realm of sculpture and site-specific installations. One of his greatest influences has been jazz music, and his mixed media paintings embody the qualities of music. Bailey even said, "I would draw comparisons to a jazz musician's search for a certain sound, riff or rhythm, through acts of improvisation." Bailey was born in 1968 in Atlanta. 0used to be friends:7:34 AM
