Spencer Sweeney

Spencer Sweeney is known for his psychologically rich paintings, as well as for two decades of collaborations with musicians, performers, and artists in the downtown New York art scene. His creative work oscillates between performance, music, visual art, and experimental theater, most recently in his studio salon headz, a communal art and improvisational jazz performance space. Sweeney’s paintings often show reclining nudes, portraits, and self-portraits, spanning various degrees of figuration and abstraction. Photo: Rob McKeever
