Fēdus

Most people know him as “Fēdus,” but Bradley Harris is a Dallas-based artist who has been drawing, painting, and building since his hands were just big enough to hold a tool. That mix of materials runs through the wide and varied body of work he creates.

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

A tough critic of his own work, Bradley Harris pairs meticulous attention to fine detail and determination with a bold love of fluorescents — a combination that keeps him always 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 to 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 one purpose: helping people feel a deeper connection to art.
