Time Distribution Amplifier, 2019Oil stick on linenCanvas: 63 × 40 in (160 × 101.6 cm)Framed: 66 × 42 in (167.6 × 106.7 cm)This work explores gesture as a conduit for signal, translating motion into a schematic field of visual transmission. Using oil stick in the anaglyphic colors of 3D glasses, it references image interference, depth perception, and the hidden architectures of time-based media.</description>

		<description>ABOUT
H Spencer Young (b. Cleveland, Ohio) is a New York–based interdisciplinary artist and writer/director working across photography, filmmaking, digital art, painting, sculpture, sound, and drawing. His research-driven practice engages a broad spectrum of formal and conceptual questions, with a particular focus on how images, light, and signal shape perception, memory, and emotion. Drawing from cosmology, technology, and the evolving history of image-making, Young’s work interrogates the boundaries of representation and perception in contemporary life, engaging with the shifting role of visual language and the ways it shapes our collective experience.

Spencer holds a B.A. in Visual Media with a minor in Cinema Studies from The American University in Washington, D.C. As an undergraduate, he was sponsored by Czech author and screenwriter Arnošt Lustig to attend FAMU, the Czech National Film School in Prague. FAMU is considered the birthplace and engine behind the Czech New Wave. He was also one of 13 students selected nationally by historian and author Dr. Douglas Brinkley for The Majic Bus, a groundbreaking experiential learning program that traveled to 46 states, studying Geography of the American Civil Rights Struggle, American Intellectual History, American Road Literature and American Social history in the precise locations where history occurred.

Spencer’s film and art works have exhibited internationally, including multiple showings at Art Basel &#124; Miami Beach, (Untitled Art and Satellite Art), and institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD). His work has also been featured in exhibitions at Abattoir Gallery in Cleveland, curated by Lisa Kurzner and Rose Burlingham. In 2025, he exhibited in Social Photography XI at Carriage Trade, curated by Peter Scott. In 2024, his work Solastalgia was included in Steal My Sunshine, curated by Marlee Katz Snow / Collect Bean.

In 2023, Spencer’s essay on Marcel Duchamp’s 1963 retrospective at the Norton Simon Museum was published by Pasadena Magazine (Editor: Malina Saval). That same year, his work could be seen on the front page of the New York Times Arts Section as part of The Patriot group show at O’Flaherty’s, curated by Jamian Juliano-Villani and Billy Grant.

Spencer’s artwork has been auctioned to benefit the Center for Art Law (Capsule Auctions, Paddle8) and selected for the publication Simultaneous Soloists (Pioneer Press) on the work of Anthony McCall.

As a filmmaker, Spencer directed the official music video for Joan as Police Woman’s “Warning Bell” (featured in The Atlantic), and edited and sound designed Rashid Johnson’s film Samuel in Space, which is currently exhibiting as part of Johnson’s retrospective, A Poem For Deep Thinkers, at the Guggenheim Museum, New York. Samuel in Space, originally commissioned by Ballroom Marfa, is also part of the Detroit Institute of Arts’ permanent collection and has been exhibited internationally at Hauser &#38;amp; Wirth, the McNay Art Museum, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver.

Spencer’s commercial work includes directing films and creative campaigns for clients such as Hudson’s Bay Company, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nike, CBS, Juice Press, Food Network, Lord &#38;amp; Taylor, and Honor, with features in W Magazine, The Atlantic, The Guardian, and others. In 2013, he co-concepted the foundational branding for Juice Press, creating the visual and film language that grew the brand from a single store to a national presence.

His early documentary feature Swing State captured the 2006 Ohio governor’s race and holds the one-day attendance record at the Cleveland International Film Festival, premiering in adjacent sold out theaters simultaneously. Spencer also served as a story consultant and additional editor on Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis (dir. Mary Jordan, prod. Richard Prince, Kenneth Peralta), named one of Entertainment Weekly's Top 10 Films of 2006.

Spencer’s fashion film for Honor, featuring models Xiao Wen Ju, Josephine Skriver, and Anne-Sophie Monrad, premiered on W Magazine’s platform with a soundtrack by Here We Go Magic. His work has also inspired multiple couture collections at New York Fashion Week and the Emmys Red Carpet (notably, Zosia Mamet’s 2013 gown based on Spencer’s piece The New Sky.)

Spencer’s artwork continues to raise funds for not-for-profit galleries, emerging artist grants, and organizations supporting the arts.

Artists he has exhibited alongside include Tracy Emin, Lauren Yeager, Dash Snow, Jack Henry, Michelle Grabner, Dan Graham,&#38;nbsp;Sean Lennon, Sonia Louise Davis, Gwenn Thomas, Azikiwe Mohammed, Spencer Sweeney, Louise Lawler, R.H. Quaytman, Ricky Powell, Carmen Winant, Hildur Jonsson, Bert Stern, Dan Loxton, Liz Deschenes, Lumin Wakoa, and many others.In addition to his professional practice, Spencer is a children’s educator in art and film, and mentors undergraduate and graduate filmmakers at his alma mater.
About The Majic Bus:During The Majic Bus journey, Spencer and 12 students lived on the first ever natural gas powered bus, traveling to 46 states, studying firsthand with cultural icons including Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter S. Thompson, Toni Morrison, Arthur Miller, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Bo Diddley, Tom McGuane, Townes Van Zandt, William Kennedy, Melba Patillo Beals, John Kenneth Galbraith, TC Boyle, Allen Ginsberg, Rita Dove, William vanden Heuvel and others — often spending time with them at their homes. Standout memories include walking Little Rock Central High with Melba Beals; exploring Lowell, MA one-on-one with Ginsberg at the Kerouac Poetry Festival; restoring Bill Clinton’s boyhood home in Hope, Arkansas; making lunch with Kurt Vonnegut at his house while discussing Breakfast of Champions; debating Hell’s Angels with Hunter S. Thompson at Owl Farm; and learning music at the Maple Leaf with Townes Van Zandt. The program's focus was to study American cultural history where it happened, and this experience remains foundational to his work.
