About Billy Hix is a painter of extraordinary creativity. His prolific output of fun, sometimes bizarre and disturbing paintings often overshadow each painting's unique qualities. An early exposure to 1970's comic art and the mind-bending surrealism of Dali are easily recognizable to many. A life changing accident at the age of 18 would lead to years of personal struggle that would eventually manifest in an explosion of color, twisted forms and abstract perspectives.
Fun at first glance, these paintings are not for the kids. Nothing is off limits. Billy's work is a testament to the honest, brutal, but sweet nature of his communication. A Los Angeles based artist, his work is collected internationally. |

"There was no one single painting you could focus on. They were all colorful, sporadic, twisted, and animated, and yet... simple. Very free-stylesk, this is the best kind of art anyways, the one where you just go!” - Unknown |
