about

For decades Brad Bealmear was a commercial photographer in NYC and Santa Fe NM. In 2014 Brad began to concentrate on painting, hoping to reflect his attitude regarding our species and its treatment of the planet and its life. As global warming and extinctions increasingly show, it’s a valid concern. He has also continued to photograph, mostly adding to his series New Mexico Wanderings.

Brad has mounted two solo pop-up shows at FOMA Gallery in Santa Fe, NM, and has been exhibited and collected in the US and internationally. He lives and works in Santa Fe.

The series The Book of Revisions, as Scribbled by Brad was created in late 2016 and during 2017. The artist was still new at handling materials and was using an oil-based substance under pastels and acrylics, and these were applied on antique, highly acidic bible pages. Over the following year all of the pieces darkened and had to be destroyed, causing him to gather them back from the David Richard Gallery in Santa Fe where he was represented at the time. Luckily Brad had photographed each page. The series has been hidden away since, but he feels the time has come to bring them back out. They are available as prints.
