Spencer Pettit: A Continuing Act of Discovery
The Galleries of Ringling College are honored to present Spencer Pettit: A Continuing Act of Discovery in the Patricia Thompson Alumni Gallery, on view from September 5 through November 21. This posthumous exhibition celebrates the deeply personal and evolving artistic journey of Ringling alumnus Spencer Pettit (Class of 1978), whose textured, figurative works blur the lines between realism, abstraction, and expressionism. Pettit described himself as a 鈥減rocess artist,鈥� focused not only on visual impact but on the layered journey of creation. His work invites viewers to look beyond surface aesthetics and engage with the underlying techniques, decisions, and emotional narratives that unfold across his canvases. Like chapters in a book, each piece builds upon the last, forming a cohesive and evolving body of work that speaks to a lifelong pursuit of meaning and connection through art.
