About this artwork
A LOT of blue here. I broke things down into boxes and reconstructed a narrative I saw unfold one night up around the Public Library, in Midtown. A woman was trying to find out where the Blue Note jazz club was. A policeman didn't know. A man walking his little white dog didn't know. (I did know. I finally got to her and told her.) The shapes and representation in most boxes is highly stylized. I sketched out many shcematics of which images should…
go into which boxes, the positions. This painting carries a dreamlike feeling to me.

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.
