Stephen Manger

Painting, Visual / Media

Stephen is a mixed media artist who often strives to remove evidence of his own hand via mono-printing on glass. Over the course of his 30-year career, he has amassed an ever-increasing collection of techniques and processes to create amorphous, highly active, and abstract images that are often torn or cut for subsequent editing to make larger collage pieces. When possible, he uses recycled materials — paint, fabric, wood — as a matter of thrift and sustainability.

Artist's Statement

Recent works stem from a fascination with physics and cosmology. This motif, of action in general and constituents of motion, can be a stand-in for subatomic particles, the smallest elemental units of everything that is. In art, incomplete knowledge and piecemeal understanding can be useful tools that lead to unanticipated associations and unexpected results — and perhaps even beauty.
