Spiller’s work appropriates concepts from popular culture and childhood memories. His art is filled with enthusiasm and energy, compressing a world of influences and ideas onto a single piece of artwork. By using different painterly techniques he creates rich and complex surfaces. Blending styles by mixing the hard-hitting immediacy of Pop Art, with bold colours, punchy texts and clean lines, alongside expressionistic painting and hard-edged abstraction. To these striking images he adds another layer of texts and drawings including characters and motifs that echo in his mind, combining these elements with evocative lines from his favourite songs by: the Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Pogues and other lyrics that have seeped into his consciousness.
