Spenser Coombe is an emerging artist who works primarily with gouache and pencil on paper. His artworks often feature maze-like grids and clever visual puns, with compositions that guide the viewer’s eye through the image like a map. Coombe uses both complementary and contrasting colours to enhance the structured, grid-like nature of his work, adding vibrancy and depth to each piece. Humour is a key element in his practice, often reflected in the nuanced titles he gives his works.
