David Spiller : Just you know why

25 Jan-18 Feb 2012

Beaux Arts
Kew, London

Overview

‘We’re living in hard times,’ says Spiller, ‘so somebody’s got to hold a beacon to show the way, to show that life is fun.’ Beginning his career in the 1960s, he occupies a unique position in the contemporary art world: he belongs to the Pop tradition but is not a Pop artist. He is more than that. An artist with a fertile and relentlessly active mind, this new body of work is robust and energising – cheeky and poignant.
