Brad Posey – ROADKILL CIRCUS

This exhibition round includes works provided by Brad Posey which will be on view in the First Floor Ramp Gallery from March 4 – May 30, 2026.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out, enjoy a pleasant evening, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday, May 30 from 5-7 pm.

 

About the exhibit:

“ROADKILL CIRCUS” is a motley crew of characters and creatures.  This series of paintings started in 2025.  Inspired by everything from graffiti, Francis Bacon, heavy metal, Jean-Michel Basquiat, horror movies, cave drawings, cartoons, tribal art, comic books, album covers, etc.  I try to use anything around me from southern culture to science fiction.  I often work in a space that has been described as both scary and silly.

 

About the artist:  

My name is Brad Posey.  I was born in Huntsville, Alabama in 1972.  I am not formally educated as an artist but have always been drawn to music, poetry and art.  I host a local radio show called The Invisible City on 89.3 WLRH and I work at UAH in the Facilities and Maintenance Department.  Art is a relaxing and soothing practice.  It’s not about having a goal or achieving a certain outcome but more of a process and a way to lose yourself in the experience.
