Michael Manente | Central Gallery
Artist Statement All my work relates directly to light and color, whether it be the gritty urban landscapes or portraits of street people and loved ones. I seek at all times the economy of line and the efficiency of color in my pursuit of the impact of light on all surfaces. The scrubbed faces, the well worn sun beaten visages, the brick and mortar facades of ancient buildings whose landlords have long since stopped caring, all of them dance and sing to me with light and color.
