David Spiller is best characterised as a Pop Expressionist. In classic expressionist mode he aspires to direct communication and has a commitment, completely sincere as far as I can tell, to authenticity. As with much expressionist art, his mark-making records his presence as much as it contributes to the structure of his images, and though he is more than anything an optimistic artist, these marks often show signs of desperation or frustration; as if the force of what needed to be expressed overwhelmed the means for doing so.
