A solo show by Spencer Shakespeare, “Crossings” speaks of the primordial journey which brings into being all life and the voyages and movements that come after.
On large-scale canvases, abstract gestures push and pull apparitions in and out of obscurity. Informed by the movement of water and the protective covering of nature, Shakespeare’s work acts as a portal through which we might transcend and escape.
“From one place to another, we are still. The waters move through; that’s what we feel." – Spencer Shakespeare, 2023
This major body of work marks Shakespeare’s first solo show of 2023.
