Jerry Mann

Colorist expressions of the American Southwest
and European shores.

began painting and studying art as a "fringe" artist while at Ohio University in the 60’s. The subsequent pursuit of a scientific international career afforded him the exceptional opportunity to experience beauty from the jungles of Brazil to the soft gray environs of Ireland. Jerry's paintings reflect these windows. Still painting in Europe, Georgia and New Mexico, his main themes alternate from the villages of European life to the mountains of New Mexico to the savannas of Georgia where he also has a studio.

Jerryis a rapid painter, generally in acrylic and he likes to carry initial emotion of expression to excite and involve the viewer. Painting is a journey of emotion and fulfillment as the work develops. The interplay of color with resting points for the eye in the work conveys simplicity yet strength of the subject statement. He does not believe in recording of subject but rather interpretation is the essential expression of   art. Jerry proposes a never-ending experimentation and expression.
