In his creative practice, Mann aims to imbue his city, San
Francisco, with drama, mood, and personality. He paints his immediate
surroundings with intimate, dynamic expression. A number of his compositions
are inspired by wet pavement that reflects street lamps and neon signs and
glitters in the rain.
Painting on medium-to-large scale wood panels, Mann utilizes
a number of techniques: staining the surface, wiping away paint with solvents,
and applying broad, gritty marks with an ink brayer. He paints with confidence
and flair, addressing complex compositions with colors both vivid and
atmospheric.
Since his graduation, Mann has received attention from
critics and collectors alike. His work recently graced the cover of American
Art Collector magazine and has been extensively exhibited in Ohio and
California.
