As soon as I saw one of Robert Bradford’s sculptures, I fell in love. Igniting that child hood desire to dismember barbie or to build a Lego robot with special powers. His sculptures most certainly evoke an element of play & discovery. Bradford uses anything from plastic clothes pegs to scalextrics parts, from Happy Meal toys to scourers, using anything that’s ‘everyday’ to recreate an even more familiar object. From a dog to a gun or an angel, with an element of the recycled, junk or discarded, what’s one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure.Last night, at an opening of a group art show at a production company Hogarth Worldwide, I got the pleasure to meet the man… and incidentally bought one of the pieces… the Daschund which I shall call Donald.His work, Nathans Fox’s & Jon Steed’s (among others) will be on display at 164 Shafesbury Avenue, London, WC2H 8HL.
