mance

Mance is a contemporary visual artist known for his evocative exploration of memory, identity, and urban landscapes through mixed media painting and installation. Born in 1987 in Detroit, Michigan, Mance began creating art as a teenager, inspired by the city’s rich musical and street art cultures. He studied Fine Art at the College for Creative Studies, where he developed a unique visual language that blends abstract expressionism with graffiti and found materials.

Mance’s work often features layered textures, gestural mark-making, and fragmented text, reflecting the complexities of modern life and the resilience of marginalized communities. Since his first solo exhibition in 2013, Mance has exhibited widely in galleries and institutions across the United States and internationally, earning recognition for his engaging public projects and commitment to social justice. His recent projects include large-scale murals, interactive installations, and collaborations with community organizations, further cementing his reputation as an artist deeply attuned to the social and cultural pulse of contemporary society.
