Lulled & Gulled - Steve Spence

‘Spence’s texts are witty and racy, but there’s an undercurrent of seriousness, even menace at times, with the natural world and the weather being a motif throughout.’   

Alan Baker.

 

“I’ve always enjoyed the enigmatic and intriguing work of Steve Spence.’

Ian McMillan.

 

‘All too often, this kind of language collaging ends up as sterile exercise, but Spence manages to stay engaging throughout, his juxtapositions making their own varieties of sense, and frequently raising a rueful smile.’   

Billy Mills.

 

‘Imagine Robert Louis Stephenson drunk on modernism out for a night on the lash and you’ll get a ship ahoy of how lost at sea this is.’   

Topher Mills.

 

‘What Steve Spence has done is to select from what already exists in the culture and rearrange it in ways that are a challenge to that culture….’   

Alan Munton
