A FEW WORDS FROM THE ARTIST HIMSELF: STEPHEN MANN

Artist Stephen Mann has been a Plein Air Painter along the Northern Beaches for 47 years. Completely self taught and well recognised by locals. Stephen has always wanted to tap into the Abstract World, and has experimented for 9 years to come up with something totally different. Stephen works in complete secrecy when creating his new style of futuristic artwork.

Stephen came up with the name Hafnium Art, named after the discovery in Denmark of a Meteorite found one mile underground. His artwork strongly resembles the Meteorite discovered, with its very similar look and style. The Meteorite was named the Hafnium Meteorite. Like the Meteorite, Stephen Mann's new style of art is a world first, which has been signed and dated by authorities.

Stephen claims to have separated himself from the art world to launch his new style of Art (Hafnium Art). This Art Show is the first show of this type of art for Stephen Mann.

Stephen's modern art work comprises the unidentified beings in our universe, the way they live and look… In Stephen's eyes, this exhibition is truely not to be missed.
