Bradley Sweeting is a multidisciplinary artist and arts professional whose work explores the tension between childlike intuition and profound depth. Guided by a central question, how does one remain childlike? Sweeting’s paintings draw on instinct, gesture and play, allowing themes of death, humanity, religion, animals, and history to surface naturally through expressive lines and spontaneous mark-making. His process resists rigid structure, maintaining a sense of immediacy and innocence while engaging with complex ideas. 

​

Based in Staffordshire, Sweeting works across exhibition curation, installation, and arts support. Since 2023, he has served as an Assistant with Artskeele at Keele University, where his responsibilities have included exhibition installation, art collection cataloguing, stage design, and curatorial support. In 2024, Bradley expanded his creative involvement through Stoke Creates working as the social media manager for Stoke Exchange Forum until October 2024, and contributed to the growth of local networking events. His commitment to community arts is further reflected in his volunteer work with Appetite, Artskeele, Barewall Gallery, Stoke Minster, and B-ARTS’ New Producers programme.

​

Sweeting’s artistic practice has been showcased in numerous exhibitions, Bradley Sweeting Exhibition at the Guild Hall in Newcastle-under-Lyme (2023), Three Counties Open Call (2023), Appetite’s Featured exhibition (2023), Outloud: When Art Meets Addiction (2023), ACAVA Spode Collective Exhibition (2023), EXHIBIT 38 (2024), Lost&Found (2024), The Brampton Museum and Art Gallery Open Exhibition (2024), ACAVA’s Reclaim (2024), The Palette Project: PINK (2025), Work in Progress at Great Bear Tattoo (2025) and Connecting Through Creativity at Canal Street Studios (2025).

​

In 2023, Sweeting was awarded the ACAVA Studios Artist Residency Development Prize, leading to his residency at ACAVA Studios Stoke later that year where his curatural skills were shown with his first curated show ACAVA Spode Collective Exhibition (2023). His growing body of work continues to balance depth with curiosity, inviting viewers into a space where innocence and contemplation coexist. All while his paintings feature in private collections globally.
