Velvet Crown
SOLD
Bradley Theodore’s “Velvet Crown” is a commanding 60" x 80" original painting on canvas that radiates a powerful blend of regality and vulnerability. The artwork features a side-profile skull, a recurring motif in Theodore’s oeuvre, adorned with an intricate, jewel-encrusted crown against a vivid red background. The juxtaposition of the skull’s stark abstraction with the ornate, richly detailed crown creates a compelling dialogue about identity, legacy, and the fleeting nature of power and materialism.
The skull, painted with Theodore’s signature gestural strokes and vibrant palette of blues, pinks, and purples, exudes a sense of life and movement, challenging traditional associations with mortality. The crown, rendered in white and deep purple with accents of emerald green and sapphire blue, sits proudly atop the skull, symbolising both majesty and the weight of responsibility. The red backdrop heightens the drama of the piece, drawing the viewer into a bold and evocative narrative.
Born in the Turks and Caicos Islands and later immersed in Miami’s lively colour palette, Bradley Theodore brings a unique energy to the art world. A self-taught artist, Theodore began his journey by painting vibrant murals in New York City, where his iconic skeleton motif became a representation of the human essence stripped down to its core. His works have appeared on city streets around the globe, bridging the gap between street art and fine art.
“Velvet Crown” is a testament to Theodore’s ability to reinterpret historical and cultural symbols in his quintessential style. By blending abstraction with bold figuration and colour, he invites the viewer to explore deeper themes of identity, power, and the human condition. This striking piece is not only a celebration of individuality and resilience but also a reflection of Theodore’s ever-evolving artistic journey, continually challenging traditional narratives and redefining contemporary art.
