Alex Pardee is coming to SURU July 12th for a special one man show. Be there for signed art, apparel, and other rad stuff. Alex’s unique style is one conceived through watching years of horror movies, writing graffiti, and listening to gangster rap. His work best represents that of avibrant undead circus sideshow. Finapieces are oftenbrought to life by translating random shapes and colors into signs of torment and absurdity. By juxtaposing these two conflicting moods, Alex makes his works more personal to his viewers,forcing them to project their own feelings and emotions onto each character in his twisted universe.Alex’s own form of therapy is art. His love for drawing and painting spawned from his fascination with the grotesque images of Garbage Pail Kids and Tales from the Crypt comics. In 1999. Alex released his first publication, My Book of Colors. Since that release Alex has devoted everyminute of his life to creating an entire universe of characters and monsters. In the past five years hehas continued to release books like The Secrets of Hollywood and the popular Bunnywith series. Alex continues to use his art as a means of self-medication, creating emotionally charged images on canvases, sketchbooks, and any other surfaces he can cover with his bizarre characters…
