Born
in the United States in 1969, Austin
Manchester spent his formative years
living in Kenya, France, Switzerland,
Nova Scotia (Canada) and New England
(USA). Growing up in a long tradition
of artists, Manchester was exploring
his own creative center at an early
age. He studied Visual Arts at at
the University of California, San
Diego and painting in Cologne, Germany.
"I seek to gather and shape light with pigments, resins, oils, and pure Higgs particles. As well as a driving force for me this can have a profound effect for the viewer. My paintings incorporate smooth line counterbalanced by organic texture. The texture adds life and movement." The paintings radiate with their own inner energy and touch on the surreal and figurative. They are emotional yet serene, possessing the power to reveal the essence of spirit.
Austin Manchester is represented by 'Galerie Vidourle Prix' in Sauve and 'Galerie Bout du Monde' in Saint Hippolyte du Fort, France. His paintings can be found in small and big collections all over the world. He and his family currently live in the South of France.
