About this artwork
A vibrant, expressionistic painting that embraces a bold use of color and text to honor the jazz musician John Coltrane. This work evokes the rhythm and movement of jazz through the choice of colors and the energetic application of paint. The textual elements are woven into the visual narrative seamlessly, creating a piece that's not only a portrait but a story and a sensory experience. The contrast in styles—from the almost silhouette like figure…
of Coltrane against the flat textual background—lends a contemporary graphic quality to the painting
Central to the canvas is the figure of Coltrane, portrayed in mid-performance, playing the saxophone. The bold use of blues and reds in juxtaposition not only catches the eye but also reflects the dynamism and rhythm of Coltrane's music.
To the right is a depiction of the Village Vanguard jazz club, represented in a simplified illustrative style, with its iconic red exterior and green sign.

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.
