In 2001, Spehr was once again supported by a work grant from Hessische Kultur GmbH.

plant
In his earlier work, Spehr mainly occupied himself with the connection of different motifs, which in absurd combinations resulted in a painting.
In his later works there are rather selective narrative moments condensed into a complex work, which in a dramatic and often also scenic constellation result in a fantastic overall work .
