Jeremy Mangan Wednesday Night

Picture for yourself a beautiful landscape that looks eternally familiar and distinguishable yet holds no place in reality. Flowing fields of golden and green framed by rugged mountains of snow and rock. In the foreground the wood and plastic and paint of a modern day homestead suspended in air breaking the bounds of physics. A person-less world, surreal and dreamy, yet tangible to a surprising extent. These are the paintings of Jeremy Mangan, our guest peaking for wednesday night. His oil and acrylic paintings show a open ended narrative, places where the viewer is left to embark on their own story while basking in the often times photorealistic lands he paints. Picture a raging torrent of ocean swell, picture a tent city with not a single person present, picture a barn the size of a towering skyscraper, and once more picture a land based in reality but so far from the true nature of our universe. As if he slipped and fell into another dimension Mangan's paintings are the culmination of devotion, hard work and an imagination of the highest capacity. He a cool guy, so check out more of his work! Jeremymangan.com
