Spencer Smith
Location: Austin, Tx
Art Forms: Painting, Graphics Design, Mixed Media
Austin, Texas, by way of San Diego. Multi-disciplinary artist with a focus on graphic design. Inspired by hip-hop, graffiti, pop culture, cartoons, and vintage West Coast skateboarding & surfing. Fourth-generation USNAVY sailor with a profound love of the sea. Spencer's mixed-media work is a thought-provoking blend of abstract expressionism, pop art, and surrealism, seeking to tell a story.
Spencer's grandfather was known for collecting and trading hood ornaments, and he learned valuable lessons from peering through that glass display case and drawing endlessly. Emulating these recognizable icons and branching out accordingly set him on a course of persistent creation, with intentions of creating clean, accessible, distinct, memorable works that communicate efficiently.
