ARTIST BIO

Bradley Reinhardt

As an Indigenous artist hailing from the Batchewana First Nations of Ojibways in Northern Ontario, Canada, Bradley J. Reinhardt channels a profound cultural heritage in his artistic expression. Now based in Toronto, Reinhardt’s work is a fusion of tradition and contemporary rebellion, drawing from the rich legacy of woodland art while infusing elements of punk and street culture. His creations embark on a journey towards a new, vibrant contemporary direction, breathing fresh life into age-old narratives.

Each piece crafted by Reinhardt is a narrative unto itself, weaving together threads of history, identity, and resilience. Through his art, he endeavors to reclaim and share the stories of his Ojibway ancestors, stories that were unjustly stripped away by the ravages of colonization.

Symmetry serves as a guiding principle in Reinhardt’s compositions, seeking to establish balance and harmony within his work. Yet, within this symmetry lies a dynamic tension, reflecting the complexities of cultural survival and adaptation in the face of adversity.

In his quest for creative exploration, Reinhardt remains steadfast in his commitment to learning and preserving Ojibway stories, ensuring that they endure as a testament to the resilience of Indigenous peoples in the ongoing narrative of history. Through his art, he invites viewers to join him on this transformative journey, where tradition and innovation converge to shape a vibrant, inclusive future.
