A versatile and improvisational artist, Brandon Spicer-Crawley (b. 1980) works with a wide range of material, including wood collage, ceramic, calligraphy ink, paper sculpture, and acrylic paint pen. His style is both free-form and carefully crafted, with recurring motifs of letters, police officers, and squiggly lines. Creating dynamic compositions of abstract shape and figurative forms, Spicer-Crawley develops an electric series of marks emanating outward, creating vibrating, dynamic spaces. 

 

In 2019, Spicer-Crawley had his first solo exhibition at Little Berlin Gallery in Philadelphia, and displayed a collection of original drawings, paintings, and sculptural work. He was also selected as one of ten artists in the international Sprocket Mural Works competition to design and paint a mural on a wall in Harrisburg, PA. Installed in August of that year, it is a 15 x 30 foot permanent installation in the historic midtown district. In 2021 Spicer-Crawley was invited to continue the mural with an additional 44 foot section stretching further across the wall.

 

Spicer-Crawley has worked in the studio at Center for Creative Works in Wynnewood, PA since its start in 2011. He lives with his family in West Norriton, PA.
