Biography from The Columbus Museum-Georgia:
| Born in Bridgeton, New Jersey in 1968, Radcliffe Bailey was raised and
educated in Atlanta, where he lives and works today. He graduated
from Benjamin El Mays High School and received a B.F.A. from Atlanta
College of Art in 1991.
Bailey produces large three-dimensional paintings that address his life
as a young Southern African-American. His work, constructed from
found-objects, draws on a variety of sources, including historical
events, popular culture, family memories, and African traditions as
they have been changed and preserved in African-American culture.
His work has been included in numerous museum exhibitions, including
those at Whitney Museum of American Art in New York; the Harriet Tubman
Museum in Macon, Georgia; the Studio Museum in Harlem; and the High
Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia.
His work is held in numerous public and private collections throughout
the country, including the Columbus Museum, Chicago Art Institute, the
Denver Art Museum and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC.
