‘With less to look at, there is more to think about.’ That was the motto Bernard Brunon gave to his Houston based company ‘That’s Painting Productions’ some twenty years ago, when his work as a house painter became his activity as an artist.

In Manders's drawings, which clearly occur on a two-dimensional plane, a complex world is constructed. Certain elements continually resurface in different forms. In this way, he invests these individual elements with a visual past. Manders's technical style is diverse. The drawings seem to have been created quickly and directly, sometimes with only a few lines that encompass interior spaces. Depth is created with simple methods of perspective; these never deny the two-dimensional surface of the drawing paper, however.
In his drawings, Mark Manders plays with the spectator's perception and seems to be able to anticipate how one thought follows the next; his images direct the thought process.
