About this artwork
Push the volume up on "Moanin'" by Charlie Mingus and listen for the roughhouse shouting, the low, sly sax, the clapping, the raucous churchy clapping suddenly overlaid with uptown horn choruses and catch-up standup bass. Try not to move or play along or get carried away in some way. That's the feeling he worked to capture: different elements somehow fused together in a joyous whole. He hears colors. Sees rhythms. If you play an uptempo Mingus recording…

Steve Spencer is a celebrated US painter who has amassed honors, awards, news articles and grants. His works can be found in the permanent collections of the National Pastime Museum and the Kellogg Foundation. Spencer has synesthesia - he sees colors and forms when he hears music. His paintings and 3D constructions sing with color. Steve works in multiple sketchbooks, constantly reworking and re-imagining images from different angles until he is satisfied.
A lover of music, Spencer draws inspiration from jazz, soul, pop, serialsm and other genres. He views his artworks in musical terms, striving for balance and harmony between form and color. Rendered in vivid contradictory colors, Spencer's works pulse and hum with fluidity and heat.
