Bradley Harms

For the past number of years, Bradley Harms has taken a leading role in a new and forward-looking wave of Canadian abstraction, building upon traditions within the medium, while creating work that both reflects and critiques contemporary social and technological developments.

Contemporary Artist

Harms' work addresses the manner in which we perceive painting, manipulating the ideas of surface, form, and our notion of perfection. Harms received his Masters of Fine Arts from the prestigious School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Harms has exhibited throughout Canada, and internationally, including Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Miami, Munich, Sydney, Singapore, and Tokyo.

Cycling Meets Art

“Part of the motivation behind this project is to get art lovers in love with cycling and cyclists in love with art. We’re so similar and those of us who are involved in both can see it so plainly. It’s a way of getting the two worlds together.

I’ve painted all of these lines by hand, one by one so if you actually get up to the frame or the paintings each line has a delicate wave or has some imperfection in it. I think the point of the paintings was to strive to be perfect, but always fall short.”
