About our studio

Shawn Man Roland was educated at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and privately. Shawn Man currently is based out of the Bay Area.  His work incorporates a broad range of skills and knowledge. Using a wide range of materials he creates inspiring Paintings, Murals, Decorative Finishing, Design, Music, and Sculpture. He has had years of experience working for designers and several types of studios; Working both individually as well as with a team, enabling him to travel throughout the country working on hotels, restaurants, private homes, theme stores, and art exhibitions.

Process


I like to incorporate whatever materials I discover that interest me and will get me closer to my vision of that piece, and have learned to use many mediums and tools, freeing me to follow my ideas. Predominately, I use acrylic and oil paints, plaster, wood, metal, resin, and any thing else that will work. My art reflects my fascination with color, texture, organic shapes and lines, as well as a desire to illustrate emotions and stories through figurative elements. There is a tension between my work being led by the materials, by the texture, shape and color and what comes out of it, or by images and more illustrative concerns. My most current work has become a melding of sculpture and painting, and is often very organic in form. It can be completely abstract, or figures can emerge out of a fog of color, line and texture.
