Description |
Jered Sprecher (Lincoln Nebraska 1976; lives and works in Knoxville) Technology of Dirt, 2018 Oil on linen Knoxville Museum of Art, 2020 bequest of Daniel F. McGehee Jered Sprecher is among a generation of contemporary painters exploring anew the creative territory between figuration and abstraction. He describes himself as a "hunter and gatherer" who draws inspiration from an eclectic array of image sources including graffiti, architecture, cut gemstones, family photographs, and ancient frescoes. Having gathered his source materials, Sprecher constructs each painting through a combination of digital tools and virtuoso brushwork. Technology of Dirt stems from a current body of work concerning window views and reflections seen in public garden centers. |
