1955 was pivotal in Bradley’s career, with two successful exhibitions at the Redfern Gallery and Piccadilly Gallery. Whilst living and working in London, he became acquainted with the writers John Osborne, Harold Pinter, and Bill Hopkins, known as the ‘Angry Young Men.’ Following an introduction by one of them to the poet and art dealer Victor Musgrave, he was offered a contract to exhibit at Gallery One, where his calligraphic and symbolic images were much sought after.
