The New York paintings are marked by Manning’s return to the New York area. At this time he also began his ongoing collaboration with German artists Eckhard Zylla and Reiner Gramlich. The group, known as Sixhand Painting, creates collaborative abstract paintings which are exhibited as one body of work. Manning’s approach to his own work has been greatly influenced by this collaboration. He sees this as an important transformative stage in his career.
