Stu Mead (b. 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 poop. His work could be said to exist somewhere between Balthus and good-girl artist Bill Ward. His paintings were the subject of The Late Great Aesthetic Taboos, an essay included as part of Apocalypse Culture II the controversial anthology published by Feral House.
