Fēdus

Known as “Fēdus,” Bradley Harris is a Dallas artist who has been drawing, painting, and constructing things since his hands were big enough to grip a tool. That blend of materials shows up throughout the diverse body of work he creates.

He was making 3D images and drawing in perspective by age four, then moved on to animal and human figures at six. At ten, he was already building his own skateboards and designing the graphics to go with them. He was picked to design the logos and artwork for the 1986/87 MISL champion Dallas Sidekicks, which sparked a passion for soccer — a key medium he has used as a leader and teacher of both adults and youth. That sits alongside another of his major passions: music. His love of shaping the sounds and words that bring music to life led Bradley to become a drummer, and later fueled his success in tech as an audio/video/lighting programmer. His combined love of music and design brought him to SXSW as an art director, touring with major acts including Lady Gaga, Snoop Dogg, Rihanna, and Pink Floyd.

A tough judge of his own output, Bradley Harris pairs meticulous attention to fine detail and determination with a bold love of fluorescents — a combination that keeps him perpetually in motion and chasing creativity. His materials range from pencil and paper to enormous Styrofoam builds that have appeared in parks, on stages, and beyond.

The name Fēdus grew out of his drive to connect with others and teach them that art nourishes everyone. As the digital world expands at our fingertips, Bradley Harris fuses people, paint, sculpture, light, projection, and more into visions that are captivating, immersive, and ever-evolving. He does it all for a single purpose: helping people feel a deeper connection to art.
