Brady’s colorful drawings, complemented by striking black shapes, depict enigmatic scenes as if from a dream. The crowded surreal scenarios are littered with figures and objects that seem to interact randomly and intentionally, creating a well-integrated narrative.

The colored pencils and pastels used lend the drawings their vibrant colors, while black shapes break up the harmony and add urgency to his compositions. A central feature of Brady’s work is the dense clustering of figures and forms, which are often centered. Use of oval-shapes or abstracted creatures creates a sense of untold stories.

 The lines of the silhouettes delimit their characters, but are also repeatedly broken up and thus become an important structural element in the composition. There is apparent consistency in usage of color and narrative, this combination creates the phantasmagoric setting. The visual elements of the pieces appear to have been extracted from a dreamlike, subconscious state blending recognisable elements with surreal distortions. The almost cheerful narratives arouse curiosity and invite the viewer to follow their own interpretation as the scenes defy clear interpretation.

Brady’s drawings offer the possibility of escaping the ordinary and immersing oneself in a surreal scenery – a world of dreams, often enigmatic, but also playfully appealing in its ambiguity.
