Burning Passions

Acrylic on Canvas, 2023

Brad Race’s ‘Burning Passions’ hung orange like a channel between the living and the deceased.

Brad notes, “This body of work explores the journey between life and death … an evocative portrayal imbued with vivid hallucinations and transformative properties… the style is inspired by Mexican culture as well as professor Irwin D Yalom and his key principles of death, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness. These principles flow through all my work.

The question of life after death is a constant itch that we've all tried to scratch, I myself attempt to answer this question by pulling inspiration from Mexican culture more specifically the Day Of The Dead Holiday and its traditions.”
