This month at the modern8 Gallery we are featuring two artists; Susan Spransy and Jared Miller.
Susan Spransy
began developing a talent that demanded attention in the cacophonous home she grew up in.
She often opted to remain inside painting and developing her ninja stealth, while her
brother and sisters chased each other around outside. And while this, unfortunately, left
her with a complexion nearing that of an albino, she was able to find herself and her place
in the world through the images she was creating and the asses she was kicking. “I paint to
face the things I fear most about myself,” says Spransy. “I paint to confess the thoughts I
have had, without actually having to use words. I combine the hideous with the beautiful for
in my eyes, this makes me feel whole. I paint to masquerade myself into the world.”
Jared Miller
has always been drawn towards the visual arts, and has been influenced by many different
styles of art and theory. Yet, it has not been the art world alone that has moved his work,
it has been ideas and experiences, passing moments, and conversations. While making his way
through college, he worked as a graphic designer and illustrator, eventually receiving
painting and psychology degrees from Brigham Young University. He is presently going to the
Art Institute of Chicago. “My work seeks the spiritual and the psychological,” says Miller,
“to touch something beyond us. I want to find the strings, which connect us all as humans,
and pluck them. Then, I want the viewers to hear the echo of the infinite and know they are
a part of something larger and grander than themselves. The show speaks to me of an upward
pull towards something above, an unconscious draw towards a higher unseen. It speaks to our
precarious journey, as we are lifted higher and higher.”
