Scott Spencer

BrenArt Exhibition

Thank you David and Nadine Alon.

Exhibition Blurb:
Scott Spencer is a self taught artist. His artworks are most often executed without prior preparation, thus becoming free expressions of his mood and emotions at the moment when they are created. As experiences influence our thoughts and perspectives on the world, so more intense and dramatic experiences tend to leave even deeper marks on our outlook for the future. A brush with cancer a few years ago forced Scott to rethink his values. Since then he has taken life as it comes--sans soucis--and this insouciance is reflected in his canvases where color and form flow, neither structured by 'rules' acquired through formal training nor intimidated by the need to impress. Imagination at the moment of creativity guides the hand and the senses feel the paint. Every brushstroke is 'good' and therefore there are no mistakes or better ways to improve the work. There is no need to rework a canvas or rethink a composition--it is as it is, and each work thus becomes a record of a unique sensory moment of time.

Scott Andrew Spencer lives and works in Pasadena. He can often be seen standing at his easel on the balcony of his condominium in the evening hours and into the small hours of the morning. Beneath the starry night the imagination has no limits, the senses are magnified and only art can somehow give a release to such energies at times like these. Albert Einstein once said that "imagination is more important that knowledge." For artist Scott Spencer these are defining words that only a real daydreamer can appreciate. Scott is a prolific painter and has painted an eclectic body of work since devoting himself to his art. He has had works exhibited in numerous exhibitions in California and is a current member of the Pasadena Society of Artists. His works have won awards and been sold in the USA and in Europe.
