David Mangin

My Art Works, Photographs and “Bengellis” Collages almost without exception, are metaphors, visual statements that hopefully pose more questions than answers. Visually ambiguous expressions that invite viewers to participate in the image making process itself. Evoke memory and trigger the imagination. On another, perhaps more deeply personal, level I try to create images that share and convey the fragile transience of our lives; the many mysteries that confound, confront and at times envelop us and I am fascinated by the dynamic infinite cycle of birth, growth, life and indeed the inevitability of death. Whether I am delving into the eloquently surreal and beautifully symbolic atmosphere of dreams or illustrating the sensuality of passion, (fleshed out in human form or illustrated perhaps more abstractly in the subjective forms of nature), my endeavor to achieve timelessness in my portraits of humanity remains an underlying constant that is fundamental to my art. Indeed, with some rare exceptions, (most expressly being my 911 twin towers triptych) it is difficult to find anything in my body of work that can lock viewers into contemporary society. The World I project is a pre visualized and re assembled combination of found items that I see, covet, paint, sculpt and/or photograph. My intention is to entice the viewer to participate more fully in a rewarding interaction and communion with my work. From the elequence of selective and distant memory to the immediate and ever evolving present. My envisioned humanity is Primal, Naked, Unadorned. Whether I am dealing with issues that convey and express my concerns for the Environment, Endangered Species, Indigenous Peoples or Third World Issues, my work adheres to personal constants that are essentially illustrations of Love and Wonderment.
