Spencer "MAR" Guilburt
MAR’ is a contemporary American artist and vibrant voice in and amongst the blossoming Los Angeles art scene. He paints with an extraordinary attention to detail and has a skill for eye-pleasing compositions. The meaning in his abstract work slowly unlocks through movement and rhythm- the interplay of color, shape and structure. MAR utilizes and explores the power of repetition and its ability to unlock greater insights. Through the use of shapes based loosely in the subtle curves and tight angles of geometric forms MAR developed his own visual language. These ‘Fire Flowers’ as he calls them, are more expressive and gestural, than they are mathematical. MAR builds and thrives on that tension. He uses color to portray a sense of feeling and bring the viewer closer to his heart. He manipulates and shapes these feelings through the selection and composition of color. More than anything, his paintings are feelings as much as they are imagery.
