John Mandel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Mandel is one of the first photorealists to emerge in New York. His figurative oil and acrlic paintings, often monochromatic, were a departure from ordinary subject depiction. His works involved movement in compressed space. Mandel's work was exhibited at Max Hutchinson Gallery in SOHO and in the first biennial exhibition at the Whitney Museum. His work has also been shown in the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art, Santa Monica Museum of Art, the Max Hutchinson, Sidney Janis, Modernism, Thomas/Llewellen and Krieger/Landau galleries.[1]
[edit] Teaching
Mandel has been a faculty member at his alma mater Pratt Institute, Otis Art Institute, Art Center College of Design, and now teaches at California Institute of the Arts.
