Brazelton IV completed his studies at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste (Städelschule) in 2021. In 2016, he studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Madison. The artist combines materials such as fabric, leather, acrylic, metal or cardboard to create three-dimensional works that extend the medium of painting (in the classic sense of the term) into the space. The use of collage and assemblage create references to different contexts and circumstances, each with its own codes and behaviours; these elements meet and coexist in neutral ways, with no value hierarchy applied to them.

People often talk about codes in my work, and some understand them while others are confused. For me, these codes are about how different cuts and techniques translate into a more physical and pointed message. It’s not just about the material itself, but the social or personal reasons behind it. It’s not just an aesthetic cut; it’s about body practicality and how things operate on multiple levels – Cudelice Brazelton IV
