Stu Mead (born 1955 in Iowa) is an American painter living in Germany. He is primarily-known for girl art incorporating strong elements of sexual fantasy and taboo themes, including adolescent sexuality and bestiality. His work could be said[citation needed] to exist somewhere between Balthus and good-girl artist Bill Ward.
His paintings were the subject of The Late Great Aesthetic Taboos,[1] an essay included as part of Apocalypse Culture II, the controversial[citation needed] anthology, written by Adam Parfrey and published by Feral House.
