PREFAB77 a.k.a. Peter Manning is a UK based artist whos origins and influences are in England, California and New York. His early training as a printmaker and designer for Her Majesty in the British Army was fundamental in influencing his early subject matter, going on to New York to work in fashion and branding which influences his current work. His fascination with portraiture and the female form stems from this period and is central to his imagery. His current work is a culmination of all his influences and obsessions. Weaving small pieces of popular culture; money, street, religious, musical and political affiliations, into visually beautiful allegorical portraits, they express an abstract idea or convey a meaning not explicitly set forth in the narrative.
