About this artwork
This is based off the same liquor store sign as a couple of other of my paintings. The store is still there but the sign has been gone for some period of time. I treat these sign pieces are tone pomes, working with specific color palettes to create a unique mood. This one is anchored by black and kind of a graphite gray. The warmer colors contrast with these unsaturated tones. They represent rust and sun effects here. I was attracted to the…
way the light bulbs flow. From the angle of the phone and the way I've cropped the image the bulbs cascade down the edge of this part of the sign. I love how the lightbulbs in these old signs don't line up completely with the lines they are meant to reinforce, visually. That is, they aren't in perfect alignment with the curved stripe of the sign. When it's dark and the lights are one I guess they illuminate the sign effectively. I can't really say for this sign, though, because I don't think I ever saw it when it would still light up.

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.
