While scrolling through Instagram this past weekend, I came across Jeff Manning and hist artwork captivated me. As I began scrolling through is Instagram (@jeffmanning_), his vibrant color contrasts, apparent melanin appreciation, mosaic-collage artistic style fusion, and art orientation moved me, inspired me, and motivated me.
Jeff Manning is a, “Philadelphia-based Graphic Artist…creat[ing] work that is informed by music, in particularly, the neo-soul genre. Music is what really sets the tone for him to get going creatively. He will usually listen to a specific song and then create artwork that is fueled by the vibe that he picks up from the song.”
For me, Manning’s pieces illustrate the beauty & astonishment that can be found in complexity. When formatted, reformed, and healed, our complex issues can turn into a testimony of how life’s situations don’t have to break us, they can make us better!
