Please join Saatchi Art chief curator Rebecca Wilson for an artist-led tour of Robot World presenting new monotypes by Kevin Bradley and his Church of Typography.
Artist Kevin Bradley will lead a tour through his current exhibition Robot World presented by the world's leading online gallery Saatchi Art at the Helms Bakery District in Culver City.
Following a screening of an acclaimed documentary short tracing his roots from Tennessee to California, Kevin Bradley will lead a tour through Robot World, sharing insight into his labor-intensive process of printmaking using historical and handmade metal and wood-block moveable type.
Over the last 22 years Bradley has amassed an unparalleled collection of hand-carved woodblocks and metal moveable type with 1,000 fonts—one of the world’s most important bodies of contemporary authentic letterpress in the world—in addition to making his own blocks.
Robot World presents 14 works that are part of an ever-growing universe of abstracted creatures defined by Bradley’s distinctive style with its intricate, labor-intensive printing techniques, thick, inky layers, and his stunning contemporary take on a traditional medium.
Curated by Rebecca Wilson, Chief Curator and VP of Art Advisory at Saatchi Art, Robot World is Kevin Bradley's first solo show in Los Angeles.

“There are no short-cuts as an artist and designer,” he says. “It is the connection that links to the past to the future in the present, one letter and one print at a time, since 1439.”
Originally from Tennessee, Bradley moved to Los Angeles two years with 30 tons of letterpress equipment. He has declared his new home “the most important letterpress city in America”.
