Labels. Powerful portraits that convey a telling critique on the society
Years of exposure to both television and conspicuous consumption inspired him to create the 'Labels' body of work. Taking the television show 'What's My Line?' as his cue, Spector's work is a curious mix of influences. References to Richard Prince, Jenny Holzer and Barbara Kruger all exist, creating powerful portraits that convey a telling critique on the society we live in. Spector works in both colour and black and white, using digitally manipulated original source imagery and vintage photography. The work is divided into two separate categories; colour images of childen and black and white vintage images of adults.
