About Us

My art practice is a simple reflection of my personality, who I am. As any artist I’m constantly inspired. I always think about art and think about the different ways I can deliver it to the public. I never want to be tied to one style of creativity. I create unique pieces, so I don’t want to be known or recognised for a recurrent style. I’d rather be known for my exploration of different disciplines. Seeking new challenges to further develop my art practice, my learning and my artistic development. In my paintings I reference urban life and the modern industrial world, while acknowledging nature’s beauty and surprise. I am encouraged by experimentation and by pushing boundaries. I relish in mistakes and tire of repetition. I love the power and statement in simple compositions juxtaposed with areas of layering and detail. It’s when all these elements are combined, I feel my paintings are successful and only then do I feel like an artist.

Professional Information

Spencer’s desire is to create an impact on the eye and trigger an emotional response through colour, movement and texture. “I am bound to no one style and, just like the first random scratch of charcoal on a canvas, I’m never prepared and I enjoy letting instinct take over,” he says. "There's nothing I'm bound to other than experimenting, so I can keep pushing and trying new things." An appreciation for design in all its forms means Spencer delves into varying materials and styles. Hailing from Fremantle, the humble family man is a true reflection of his craft. Dynamic, energetic and lively, he draws from the past while being in the now, overlaying an urban, industrial sensibility and an admiration for nature’s beauty. “I paint something different every day because I don’t want to get ‘trapped’ into some recognised style or repeated image,” he says. “I need to push and dissect my art until one day I draw but one line and think it’s beautiful.”
