SOLD
Bradley Theodore’s “Shakespeare” is a striking 42" x 34" painting on canvas that reimagines the Bard through Theodore’s vibrant and contemporary lens. Set against a richly textured blue background adorned with flourishing flowers and organic vines, the composition juxtaposes classical themes with modern abstraction. Shakespeare is portrayed in profile, holding a vibrantly painted skull, a nod to the iconic “Hamlet” soliloquy that explores themes of life, death, and existential reflection.
Theodore’s gestural brushstrokes bring energy and movement to the piece, with bold splashes of colour forming Shakespeare’s attire, hair, and the skull he holds. His face is partially abstracted with vivid hues of pink, green, and red, imbuing the figure with a timeless yet modern quality. The surrounding floral motifs, in contrasting warm tones of red, yellow, and white, frame the figure, symbolising both creativity and the transience of life.
Born in the Turks and Caicos Islands and influenced by the vibrant aesthetics of Miami, Bradley Theodore’s art merges cultural history with contemporary expression. Self-taught and inspired by artists like Salvador Dalí, Theodore began his artistic journey creating murals in New York City, where his colourful skeleton motifs became a defining feature of his work. His art often focuses on exploring the essence of his subjects, delving into the emotional and symbolic core of human experience.
“Shakespeare” exemplifies Theodore’s ability to reinterpret historical icons through his unique artistic vocabulary. By blending bold abstraction with rich symbolism, the painting invites viewers to engage with the enduring themes of Shakespeare’s work, while also reflecting on the timeless intersection of art, literature, and identity. This piece is a testament to Theodore’s talent for creating visually arresting and thought-provoking works that bridge the past and present.
