Statement
Manty Dey creates paintings inspired by paper collage, botanical illustrations, and color field paintings. In these works, acrylic paint and ink washes are layered to create luminous floating abstractions. Each layer unveils traces of intentional and improvised gestures as they accumulate and dissolve over time and temperament.
