Story Behind the Painting

'Family' is a very personal piece to Terry Bradley.

Terry very often uses a female character as a way of masking a self-portrait, especially when it alludes to his most personal and intimate thoughts.

This woman is groomed and beautiful, her makeup is flawless, and she is ready to face the world with her rings and earrings in place. However, she has also been crying, with streaked mascara running down her cheeks.

In this drawing the model is thoughtful and looking down and back in time. Terry grew up in Belfast in the height of the Troubles and was very much kept at home and sheltered by his mother. The youngest of four children, his mother kept him at home and away from social situations as part of her own shyness, and he grew up drawing and dreaming in his room.

The other tattoos also have significance: ‘Life’, ‘Breathe’ and ‘Hope’ are all words he associates with his past and family upbringing.
