Piero Manrique's unique, otherworldly artwork has been inspired by his past studies in design, dance, the martial arts, architecture and sculpture. His distinctive personal vision goes beyond surrealism to a realm which speaks to us on a level concerned as much with the past as with the future. Part collage, part portraits of futuristic jungles, these are alien dreamscapes, to be sure, but they do not keep us at arm's length. The human body holds a central place in his vision, and he invites us to see not only the splendor of an imagined future, but also challenges us to appreciate the human body in juxtaposition to imagined technology, as an instrument ready to evolve into the next stage of meaning, and beauty.
With his highly original and challenging work, Piero Manrique offers the viewer works in which the very notions of art, beauty, and what it means to be human, are being redefined.
