Love Is Real - Only You
According to the artist’s estate: “Spiller laboriously assembled swatches of canvas, almost ‘neurosurgically’ sewing painted panels together, beautifully constructed, precise, hard-edge color abstract works that were painstakingly stenciled with lyrics from a favorite song. This unique way of assembling a painting (not obvious at first sight) gave him the freedom to remove or add panels, to obtain the ‘right’ balance. He loved the precision and possibilities this process offered, explaining that a line could not be painted so sharply; he took pride in their labor-of-love assembly, a magical process of what appears at first glance to be a seemingly effortless job.”
