A panorama of Celeste Dupuy-Spencer's unflinching depictions of the human condition Los Angeles-based Celeste Dupuy-Spencer (born 1979) creates blistering paintings loaded with a complex mix of iconography drawn from the real and the imaginary.

The works offers a fragmented panorama of the human condition in all its contradictions, and yet the narratives do not overwhelm the act of painting itself, compositions that spontaneously grow out of the brushwork. "I have no desire to tame the medium," Dupuy-Spencer says. For her, painting is an existential act.
