J. Steven Manolis to Exhibit at Art Southampton

Southampton, NY, July 8, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ABOUT J. STEVEN MANOLIS

“My objective is to make striking diversified color and monochromatic images that are not only beautiful, but also evoke excitement in my collectors. When this occurs, I am thrilled and fulfilled.” Manolis’ paintings are an expression of the conflict between simplicity and complexity, starting every painting with a natural unstructured plan. He then keeps adding on, going further with each image. More often than not this process quickly leads to a visual conflict, when this occurs the conflict needs to be resolved. The process is repeated again and again resulting in translucent layering of paint beautifully executed and skillfully finished. This process ends with a resolution of a beautiful finished work of art unique to J. Steven Manolis.  His lifelong mentor, friend, artist, educator and “uber-colorist” Wolf Kahn profoundly impact Manolis.  Additionally Manolis is half of the dynamic art fusion duo, LoveManolis (www.lovemanolis.com)
