Oliver Tree Remembered Through Art

Oliver Tree, the boundary-pushing artist behind the mantra “Ugly is Beautiful,” tragically died in a helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro during his world tour. All six aboard perished. His family is honoring him with a July 25 memorial at UCSC’s Quarry Amphitheater — livestreamed for global fans — and asking for donations to his “Extremely Epic Art Grant for Baby Geniuses,” a nonprofit to empower young creatives. Known for fusing performance art with real life and turning chaos into connection, Oliver saw the world as his stage — and everyone as part of his masterpiece.
