Liam Spencer
Liam Spencer was born in Burnley in 1964. He studied Fine Art at Manchester Polytechnic, graduating in 1986.
He is well known for his vivid portrayals of urban landscapes, particularly of Manchester. Liam came to prominence with a solo exhibition at the newly opened Lowry arts centre in 2000. Since then Liam Spencer has exhibited widely, most notably a retrospective at Manchester Art Gallery in 2006 and his paintings have been collected avidly. During 2005 Liam was the subject of a 30-minute documentary on the BBC.
Furthermore In 2008 Liam was asked to produce the artwork for the UEFA cup final at the City of Manchester stadium. Subsequently the paintings and drawings were used to produce the cup final identity. Finally these were used on the programme, tickets, city centre banners and stadium dressing.
He exhibits regularly in the North West and beyond, and his work can therefore be seen in several public collections. Including Manchester City Art Galleries, Salford Museum and Art Gallery, Touchstones Rochdale and Towneley Hall Museum and Art Gallery in Burnley.
