In this image, a multitude of colorful, geometric forms almost completely fill a taupe background. While these forms mostly resemble vegetal shapes found in nature, many also subtly reference disconnected human anatomy.

J Bradley Greer’s often whimsical paintings depict forms resembling those found in nature while also slyly referencing human anatomy. Using thick paint to create surfaces that resemble cake frosting, Greer walks a thin visual line between illustrating rich florals and the kinds of human orifices or protrusions found in medical textbooks. Like a first-generation surrealist, Greer enjoys the Rorsachian nature of his practice, believing what viewers see in his work often reveals much about their subconscious desires.
