Biography

JJ Manford's creates paintings using oil stick, oil pastel, and flashe on linen, occasionally incorporating burlap to evoke a palpable warmth and tactile quality.

Diligently considering the saturation, temperature, and tone of his pigments, he cultivates constructed environments that exude a spirited playfulness and vibrant atmosphere, resulting in a visually dynamic and surrealist experience. Another distinguishing aspect of Manford's artistic practice lies in his exploration of interior design and the convergence of structural landscapes with human existence. He pays homage to influential Bay Area artists such as Joan Brown, Richard Diebenkorn, and Ruth Asawa, who have played pivotal roles in shaping the trajectory of modern art. ...
