Alex Pardee Awful / Resilient

Enter the incredible world of Alex Pardee – inhabited by a disturbing menagerie of misfit monsters and improbable
heroes plucked from the very nightmares of childhood. This newest collection expands upon his previous work,
showcased in Awful Homesick, to bring us a broader picture of the extent of his twisted genius and the dark themes
that run through his work. Yet, amongst the entrails and decapitations, the gaping maws of razor-sharp teeth, improbable
appendages and suppurating fleshy masses, we discover a vein of goodness, of humanity. We see children,
calling for help as they languish encased in the seethrough digestive chambers of horrific monsters, as evidence of
either a loss or a craving for innocence. Wide eyes stare childlike as terrifying creatures lovingly clasp and support
each other, providing comfort in their search for community – misfits in a world where only normalcy is rewarded.
