Two Works: (i) Fortunate Son (Sheryl Crow Pandora Painting) (ii) Wide Open Spaces (Sheryl Crow Pandora Painting)

2014

Two interconnected works born from the randomness of a Pandora shuffle, Manning captures the ephemeral experience of listening to Sheryl Crow through a fusion of gestural acrylic painting and digital imagery. The diptych format mirrors the serendipitous nature of streaming music, where disparate songs — "Fortunate Son" and "Wide Open Spaces" — are united by algorithm and artistic intuition. Rich layers of paint blend with digital print on canvas, creating a visual language that echoes the intersection of analog emotion and modern technology.
