Biography

Edward King Bass IV is an American multidisciplinary artist whose visual practice centers on psychologically driven abstraction. Blending diverse materials and elements, he creates compositions that evoke complex, often contradictory emotions rarely felt in unison. Through this work, he reveals deeper truths about the human condition, offering a clearer lens on reality while exploring themes of non-duality.

Known professionally as Edward Skeletrix, he maintains an active, art-forward music practice as a musical artist that constantly challenges artistic norms. Together, his visual art and boundary-pushing music have cultivated a dedicated cult following. Born in Florida and raised in Georgia, he later moved to Baltimore, where he worked in a psychiatric hospital. Surrounded by raw human vulnerability and emotional intensity, he committed to his artistic path with renewed purpose.

Highlights of his rising profile include a sold-out three-day solo exhibition in New York City and a subsequent group show at Setareh Gallery in London.
