Creagh Manning: Au Natural
3 Sep 2025 – 28 Sep 2025
Mackley Members' Room
A collection of paintings developed over time through a weekly life class and further refined in the quiet focus of my studio. Each piece is a personal interpretation of the human form, shaped by moments of instinctive mark-making or slower, more reflective observation. I’m drawn to the figure’s timeless presence; its quiet strength, vulnerability, and graceful complexity.
