Eric Mangen is a Luxembourg-based abstract artist. His approach towards abstraction is deeply rooted in graffiti to which he became drawn in the late 1990s. The completion of an artistic work process and the subsequent separation from the individual work are like a release, both for the artist and for the canvas. Eric Mangen’s materials are his sparring partners: the composition of the motif is followed by its destruction, reduction or redesign. The artist and the motif view each other as equal partners who have set themselves tasks.
