As a California native, adopted at birth, the artist began his wanderlust at a young age, traveling extensively throughout the world seeking the truth to humanity’s origins. Theodore’s artistic practice is a response to acquired knowledge, and his applications are often learned through personal experiences. Color and form are paramount in the vocabulary of his work, combining dyed textile, scenic paint, oil paint, dirt, gravel and grout to convey the constant balance between nature and humanity.
For the artist: “My research and artistic lineage is one blossom in a garden of artists, philosophers and mystics who through their own journey have all come to the same conclusion: we, every living organism, come from the stars.” Star Maps is on view at Show Gallery 1515 N Gardner St, Los Angeles. photographs courtesy of the gallery
