"Contender" Canvas

Story Behind the Painting

‘Contender’ captures the spirit of Belfast’s enduring resilience. Painted for the 2025 COST exhibition, the piece reflects the city’s legacy of hard-working men who carried both physical and emotional battles on their shoulders. Bradley’s subject, marked by a plaster across his nose and those striking, piercing grey eyes, embodies a quiet strength shaped by struggle. His expression hints at the grind of daily labour but also the invisible weight of mental health challenges that so often go unspoken. Through muted tones and rugged texture, Bradley honours the men of Belfast who continue to stand firm, even when life leaves its marks.
