When Bradley Milligan entered the College of Fine Arts, he saw himself as a traditional painter, working with oils. But during his two years in the Graduate Painting program his approach to painting underwent a significant transformation. Today he uses elements of sculpture and construction to create what he describes as “freestanding, built paintings” that consider issues of masculinity, race, and American politics.
Milligan (CFA’21) is one of 17 artists whose exciting work can be seen in this year’s MFA Painting Thesis Exhibition, now on view at the Faye G., Jo, and James Stone Gallery through April 26. There are 34 paintings, representing the culmination of the artists’ thesis work, in the 2021 show.
