Texture, movement, and energy are regarded as hallmarks of fine art. These are the elements that form the nucleus and soul of the imagery of artist, Everett Spruill.
Using his ethnic heritage as inspiration, along with a mixture of Jazz and Family, Everett has developed a distinctive style that is instantly recognizable no matter the medium. A native of Birmingham Alabama and currently residing in Orlando, Florida, Spruills' exposure to Museums and Jazz at an early age would prove to have a great influence on his artistic development.
Comments are often made about the bold colors and use of found objects or magazine pages in his work. " I try to create a dialogue with the viewer by using my own mixed media language with bold colors and rich surface textures. My images are also enhanced with cryptic messages and handwritten social commentary to further communicate with the viewer. My goal is to create images that are ethereal, thought-provoking and spiritual."
