"Celeste was an extraordinary artist and a wonderful person, deeply dedicated to her painting, often working round the clock in her studio. We spent many hours in her studio talking about the history of art and how it intersects with world events."
"I'm proud to be included on the list of people who stopped everything to cry out for an end to the genocide and a free Palestine. I don't care what they do to me."
Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, a painter known for her powerful depictions of resistance, passed away at 46 in Los Angeles. Her work addressed contemporary injustices, including the January 6 insurrection and the violence against Palestinians. Despite facing harassment for her views, she remained committed to advocating for human rights. Dupuy-Spencer's art was recognized by institutions like the Hirshhorn Museum. Her upcoming solo exhibition was anticipated, and her community mourns her loss while celebrating her contributions to art and activism.
