EXHIBITION STATEMENT
This selection of work was mostly completed after art school. They evolved over many months, imbued with the processes I employ in the studio. They have come to mark a particular point in time and speak of transformation while highlighting my fascination with colour and surface.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I am John Mangila. I was born in the Philippines, live and work in Sydney.
The ultimate goal of my art practice is to create freely, guided by intuition. I’m interested in the creative act itself and finding poetry in the materials that I engage with in the studio. I utilise contemporary abstraction to explore beauty as an experience, encourage improvisation, celebrate chance and present an alternate way of seeing and being in the world.

Continue readingHarvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
