B. 1986, West Covina, CA, USA. Lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, USA.

Devin Troy Strother is known for his darkly humorous alternative racial narratives in a variety of medium from cut paper to neon signage. He finds inspiration in elements as disparate as stand-up comedy, music lyrics, and contemporary politics. His striking collages take inspiration from artists such as Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp and Henri Matisse. Though visually simple, Strother does not shy away from uncomfortable topics and confronts his audience with some of the most pressing issues of our time through his tragic absurdities.

Born in 1986 in West Covina, CA, USA, Strother received his BFA from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA in 2009. He completed a residency at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, Maine in 2010.

Strother has been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions in the US and abroad including at V1 Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark (2018); Marlborough Contemporary, New York, NUY, USA (2017); Torrance Art Museum, Torrance, CA, USA (2013); Harlem Studio Museum, New York, NY, USA (2011); and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art; Santa Barbara, CA, USA (2010).
