Love Art London

David Spiller is a legend, plain and simple. Along with the likes of David Hockney, Peter Blake, Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton, David’s a battle hardened veteran of the British Pop Art movement. He borrows a variety of iconic symbols from the recognisable landscape of popular culture, in particular music, and his work’s littered with song lyrics by The Beatles, The Troggs, Bob Dylan,  U2, Jerry Lee Lewis and his mum. Yup, the songs she sang to him as a kid left as lasting an impression as any by Ziggy Stardust.

David’s spontaneous scribbles and graffiti hint at the frustrations of artistic communication and he readily points out 'I think it is desperation a lot of the time in my work – 'What the hell do you do?' You work like a child with a tower of bricks, building this thing, and there comes a point when you want to push it over.' We love him and you will too. His studio between Elephant & Castle and Kennington is an incredible place to hang out and he’s invited us in for a good old fashioned natter. And in terms of story tellers, they don’t come any better than David Spiller. Outstanding.

This event is for Members Only (25 places)
