Welcome to HenryManningArtist.com!
Henry Manning is a visual artist living in the Pacific Northwest on the Oregon Coast. Henry Manning creates art that melds aspects of several modern art movements into attention demanding graphic images.
Crows over wheat fields minus crows, 30x40, Oil, 2007
Aspects of Minimalism in the artist’s use of monochromatic color fields; strong ties to the Color Theorists in the controlled variations in hue, saturation and brightness and the hard edged boundaries that emphasize the resulting perceptual effects; an Iconic Realism that reduces the images of everyday life to graphic design elements that together add to the overall impact of the perceptual experience. Even ties to Op Art and Geometric Abstraction can be easily recognized in his work. Henry’s most recent work has been focused on abstract art, with a variety of abstracted landscapes, seascapes, pastoral settings, riverscapes and lakescapes, even cityscapes.
Ambiguous Landmass,40x30in, Oil, 2007
Occasionally, a whimsical diversion for the artist has produced scenes from imaginary worlds all described visually in the same painter’s brush.
Henry Manning is also a writer. Visit the Written Works page for an excerpt of his first self published novel, Brotherly Love.
