Trial Collection: Photographs & Mixed Media Work by Kenton Bradley

Madison native, Kenton Bradley, found his niche in producing imagery at MCHS, constantly photographing and creating layouts that only intensified his thirst for creation. This eventually led Kenton to Indiana State University where he spent a semester abroad in Italy studying fresco painting and photography at the University of Macarata, and back to the states where he obtained a Bachelors degree in Photography.

Kenton, now an Indianapolis resident, has displayed his works around Terre Haute and Indianapolis, Indiana and Bellingham, Washington. The pieces of his work that gained notoriety spawned a movement in Terre Haute called “Multism”, where artwork has to be produced out of any found object, any artistic media, and has to contain multiple recycled items. At this time Kenton had a solo show at the Bare-Montgomery Art Gallery atIndiana State University, where a distinguished member of the faculty gave the movement a fitting nickname of the “trash can school of art” due to Kentons dumpster diving and foraging for materials.

Kenton is currently a freelance photographer & a graphic designer for Etching Industries in Indianapolis. Kenton is also continually producing photographs with his Holga camera and his Pentax ist-D, and working on creating artwork with the simple message of being “green”. A consistent theme arises throughout Kentons works: Frugality, repurposing material, and the a surreal and sometimes abstracted view of the world around us.
