ABOUT
Shrodrick Spikes is an American multidisciplinary artist, designer,
creative director, and curator. Spikes is a native of Atlanta, GA.
With training from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD)
and Georgia State University, Spikes has studied under highly
esteemed professors and lecturers from around the world.
In 2014, Spikes had his first solo show at the Jepson Center in
Savannah, Georgia. This show came about when Spikes was working
as an elementary school art teacher and afterschool fitness instructor while he was attending SCAD. During this time, he was introduced to Molly Lieberman, Founder and Executive Director of Loop It Up Savannah, while working with Karen Gordon, teacher and led afterschool instructor at Bartow Elementary, formerly known as Brock Elementary.
Spikes was hired by Molly Lieberman to be a contracting photographer for the West Broad Street YMCA, photographing the summer programs around the city. The series was entitled What I See In the Street, inspired by New York photographer, Helen Levitt. He gained his notoriety from his documentary style photographs capturing the essence of his subjects
in a minimal composition.

Over the years, Spikes has explored and evolved his style, making light and space the current central theme in his work. During his exploration, Spikes also discovered (maybe actualized) his brand's philosophy.
As a direct reflection of his internal world, his philosophy "Abstract Identity", represents his unbelonging presence in the art world parallel
to his continual journey of personal identity and self discovery,
allowing his artwork to be a physical and psychological manifestation
of this evolution. Spikes wants to be displayed in the forefront, giving himself an identity, versus living in the shadows and allowing his work
to speak for him.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 global pandemic, Spikes wanted to reimagine his approach to his creative practice, while changing the
way people experience art, design, fashion, and wellness, through the exploration of identity. This led to the inception of the Shrodrick Spikes Contemporary Creative House or (SSCCH). His experiences are curated based on different genres and mediums. They include film, art exhibitions, fine dining experiences, and more.
For his 30th birthday that August, he created his first project for the Contemporary Creative House entitled Thirty. It was an afro-futuristic erotic short film he wrote, directed, and produced. The film was a nod
to the "dirty thirty" concept.
