David Spiller's art is filled with life and energy. His bright, airy canvases and drawings compress a world of influences, ideas and impressions. His art is an instantly recognizable form of a highly personal blend of styles, mixing the hard-hitting immediacy of Pop art with bright colours, punchy texts and clean lines, executed in the deceptively simple expression of free-style, rapid drawings and song-lines in crayon and pencil across the surface of the canvas. Spiller's iconography relates to his youth, when the Beatles sang 'All You Need is Love' as if it were a mission statement. Whereas the world is a changed place today, Spiller remains the perpetual romantic placing the theme of Love at the centre of his work.
