About this artwork
The painting will be shipped rolled in a tube. This is my Guernica, my Vegetarian Manifesto. It took me far too long to become an herbivore. I've eaten oodles of animals in my lifetime and am going to cut them some slack the rest of the way. In the back of my mind it never felt right. These poor creatures don't stand a chance against us clever, cunning humans. I'm going through my mid-life crisis (perhaps Trump inspired) and finally coming to the…
realization that humans are the most disruptive, controlling thing upon Earth. We breed animals for our consumption. Where's the love? We make sure we keep procreating and we make sure other creatures don't make too many of themselves. What other living thing wants us around? We might have a symbiotic relationship with flowers and plants (they sometimes rely on us for water) but other than that, I can't think of anything that Homo sapiens doesn't just flat out exploit. Maybe if we were kinder to animals, we'd be nicer to each other.

« Every canvas has an agenda - a life of its own separate from its maker, separate from thought or logic or reason, and to plot its course is only to interfere. »
Scott Andrew Spencer is a gifted American painter who has participated in exhibitions throughout the US and UK. He is committed to total abstraction, for the truth it can reveal and the meaning it can provide for the viewer when there is no obvious subject matter to be interpreted. Using a combination of acrylic and oil on canvas, he composes works that do not try to imitate anything else, appearing intriguing and pure.
