Titanic Belfast has partnered with Terry Bradley Art to launch a free exhibition this summer featuring his latest work as well as that of aspiring young Northern Irish artists.

Named after his latest piece, Exodus – The Art of Terry Bradley, runs throughout July and August in The Andrews Gallery. It will showcase Bradley's long tradition of painting the dockers and working men of Belfast, while also incorporating some of the rich maritime history of the city, his iconic female pieces and his work relating to mental health awareness.

Visitors will also have the chance to see the work of aspiring young Northern Irish artists as part of The Bradley Art Prize, which the Belfast artist launched at the end of last year to encourage and support new creative talent among young people in the north.

The world-leading visitor attraction has announced it has commissioned the Bradley Art Prize winner to create a unique Titanic related art piece to be displayed within its shipyard themed bar, Hickson’s Point.

In addition, guests visiting the exhibition will be able to vote for their favourite piece from the runners-up with The People’s Choice winner receiving £250.

Visitors to the exhibition will also get the opportunity to enjoy behind-the-scenes footage of Bradley at work, a look at the tattoo culture inspired by his pieces and hear the life stories of some of those who have been touched by his art.

Terry Bradley said: “I held an exhibition at Titanic Belfast shortly after it opened in 2012 and I am delighted to return with Exodus – The Art of Terry Bradley. We have displayed some of my work in chronological order, starting with an early painting Belfast, No Mean City from 2007 right through to my latest piece Exodus.

“The shipyard area of Belfast has been the inspiration for many of my paintings, so it is apt for them to be exhibited just a stone’s throw away in Titanic Belfast and for guests visiting the new Titanic Experience to be able to view this special exhibition.”
