About Manne

I'm Manne, an abstract artist based in Pringle Bay, South Africa.

My practice revolves around a single recurring subject, which I leave unnamed. Through painting and photography I continue to explore it from different angles. Each work stands independently, while together they form an ongoing body of work.

My painting process is intuitive and spontaneous, without pre-planning. I work with acrylics, oils, inks and mixed media. The work is often monochrome or limited in palette.

In photography, I use vintage lenses adapted to digital sensors. Light and focus are manipulated by hand to produce controlled optical distortion.

The subject is not hidden. It is simply not defined. The work is the subject.
