Bradford Brenner
Born June 9th, 1959 in New York City, NY to art collector parents, Bradford Brenner has been a professional artist for the last 36 years.
Bradford studied at both the University of California, Santa Barbara and San Diego State, but his true creative education continues daily. Rooted in intuition, emotion, and the evolving language of color and form.
His expressive brushwork and richly layered compositions embody a spontaneous, instinctive spirit.
Collectors are drawn to the looseness and freedom that define his signature style, works that resonate with movement, depth, and a palpable sense of energy.
Bradford’s Style
Brenner’s artistic influences span centuries and genres: from the timeless techniques of the Old Masters to the atmosphere of the Tonalists, the light of the Impressionists, and the bold gestures of the Abstract Expressionists. His ability to synthesize these traditions results in a body of work that feels both grounded in art history and entirely original.
