Michael Mancuso (1949 | Italian Canadian)
Michael Mancuso is a contemporary and street artist who paints landscapes and portraits as part of his artist practice. He was raised in Northern Ontario and began drawing at an early age. He graduated from the Ontario College of Art and was handpicked to attend a campus in Florence where he was trained in the classic and realistic traditions of drawing human figures. In 1985, Mancuso moved to Vancouver, British Columbia where he found new opportunities, influence, and inspiration in the West Coast landscape adapting an abstracted style of flattened, rhythmic planes.
