RIDERS FOR HEALTH | Alex Pardee

With little over two weeks until our next art exhibition I thought it would be a good idea to post a bio on each of these phenominal artists daily as we approach the show. In Alphabetical order.

Alex Pardee’s unique style is one conceived through watching horror movies and overcoming a 10 year bout of anxiety & depression. His pieces are often brought 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 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. He is currently working hard on finishing a 50-minute animated movie for Warner Bros Television based on the Chadam character that he created in 2006. Alex is writing, co-directing, and art directing the entire project, which should be finished at the end of 2009.

SURU (which means "hand printed" or print by hand" in Japaneses) is a concept retail store and brand. The vision is simple: combine the world of art and fasion into a retail store that caters to today's ever growing demand for high end street wear and fasion forward consumers.
