MANCHU Lot n° 138

MANCHU Scrap Dealers 2, original illustration made in 2022. Signed. Acrylic on paper 120 × 80 cm (47.24 × 31.5 in.) Discovering a new illustration by Manchu is often synonymous with wonder. Wonder at his technical mastery, but especially at the lights that bathe his landscapes, the design of his ships, the gigantism of his visions of the future. The eye will then have the pleasure of wandering from detail to detail, discovering here small silhouettes of astronauts working around a screen, there a cloud of indistinct debris descending from the sky... So many elements that make us realize that beyond his immense talent as an illustrator, Manchu is a true storyteller. Fred Blanchard
