[EVOLVE] The show theme for 2016 was [EVOLVE]:”At every turn, the art world is shifting. Galleries, artists, and collectors alike are continuously evolving, in turn imploring us to expand our perspectives.”

“An optical vision is always capable of being sensational, because it lays bare the secret components of the universe of which we are observers, but also observed, in a large puzzle that never ceases to surprise, to the endless possibilities of effects and riddles.”

“Una visione optical è sempre capace di essere sensazionale, perché mette a nudo le componenti segrete dell’universo di cui siamo osservatori, ma anche osservati, all’interno di un grande enigma che non finisce mai di sorprendere, per le infinite possibilità di effetti e di enigmi.”

Manss Aval’s endorsement for his highly acclaimed photograph, “Conjugates”. The artwork was on display along with the great masters of Italian Pop Art of #SpiritoDiRoma, through October 30,2016 at the Archaeological Museum Stadium of Domitian, Premio Arte Roma.

Artist Manss Aval recently exhibited his artwork at the Bushwick Open International Chapter 2016.

The Bushwick Open International is a juried group show of established and emerging national and international 2D and 3D visual artists.

The show ran from September 30th to October 15th coinciding with numerous arts and culture events in Bushwick, i.e. Bushwick Film Festival, Crossing Brooklyn @ Brooklyn Museum, Bushwick Open Studios (this year celebrating their 10th anniversary edition) – just to name a few.

Bushwick Open International Chapter art show series is located in the heart of Bushwick’s art studio community – the 7th coolest neighborhood in the world according to Vogue Magazine – in a traditional gallery setting featuring state of the art lighting and white finished walls.

Bushwick Open was created by two practicing artists and gallery owners with a clear understanding of the developing contemporary art market committed to connecting individual artists with the right clients to help their artistic progress. Bushwick Open has several initiatives focused on targeting serious collectors.
Bushwick Open International Chapter will host numerous scheduled events dedicated specifically to establishing connections between artists and New York’s rich gallerist and collector community. These include a sponsored opening, auctions, hosted dinner events and talks, and collaborations with local performing and music establishments and galleries in the Tri-State area.

The talented Artists of Fine Art Maya will be participating in the upcoming 2016 Art San Diego art exhibition later this year.  Art San Diego is a juried contemporary art show featuring publishers, galleries, and studios representing talented established artists. The event will feature artists from all over the world and in an unusual turn of events, it will actually take place in Fine Art Maya’s neck of the woods! Most often the Artists at the San Diego based gallery participate in events that are held outside of their local areas. The San Diego Art exhibition will be a nice change from this and will give the artists the opportunity to stay local and to share their artwork with their community too.

“Manss’ abstract expressionism brims with free, gestural strokes, a rich palette and radiates emotive energy. His work is characterized by a sense of impromptu and instinctive freedom.”

Kay Colvin, L Street Fine Art, San Diego

“[Manss’] compositions are bold and consistent, showing a commitment to a unique style of image processing… Manss’ pictures have this ‘grace note’ of poetry amid the chaos of the built environment…. [Manss] clearly has an innate sense of color and composition as well as the beginnings of a street photographer’s style.”

Lensculture, 2015

“As a photographer for more than 40 years I have had opportunities to observe the social, educational, economic and physical conditions of people in many countries and I have developed and honed unique sets of images. My belief is that these sets of images create an experience for the viewer and my hope is that these created experiences can be catalysed into something greater and more relevant for today.”

Tony Othen, curator “Crowds” exhibition, The Greenwich Gallery, April 2015.

“[We] find [Manss Aval’s] work to be very original and Intriguing …[it] gives the viewer an array of different emotions moving from a serene peaceful feeling to a more imaginative dream state that provokes emotions of strangeness and familiarity all at once.”

Stacia Gates, Founder/CEO, Artquench.com, 2015

“The type of art that Manss Aval creates is from the deepest perception. His colors flow on to the canvas with a true sense of harmony and structure. His viewers often ponder what he might have been thinking when creating is images. His travels around the world are evident in his work.”

Pamela Squires, Gallery Director, Gallery 570, Laguna Beach, 2015

“We refer to [Aval’s] monochromatic works in-house very excitedly as avant-garde nature Xrays.”

Juliette Townsend, Managing Editor & Curator, Artplatform, 2015

“[Aval’s] wild images of trees and branches … are very cool and slightly overwhelming.”

Lensculture, 2015

“Aval’s mark making techniques oozes movement and colourful moments in time. He successfully translates his inspiration of patterns, textures and nature throughout his work. The Artist draws you into the texture of the paint on an intimate level; the closer and deeper you observe you begin to find images within the brushstrokes. It is evident that San Diego, Aval’s current location has had a profound effect on the vibrant, exciting and chaotic outcome of his work. The application of paint has a real sense of quality with each mark, creating an idyllic scene and fun environment. It’s no surprise that Aval has achieved 30 national and international awards.”

Gena Johns, Gallery Manager, Jam Factory Gallery, Oxford. Curator, Global Art Agency, 2015
