N.B. Los Angeles-based painter Thaddeus Strode creates wild, boldly colored large-scale paintings and drawings using a variety of media including oil, acrylic, and spray paints, as well as glitter and collage elements. He combines imagery and text from his interests in California surf and skateboard culture, punk rock, horror films, and comic books to create wild mash-ups that juxtapose the humorous and the horrific, featuring a repeated cast of characters that includes gorillas, castaways, ghosts, and monsters.
