ART: Jeremy Mann

Impressionist urban landscapes

I’m a big fan of the San Francisco urban landscape artist Jeremy Mann — paintings with a gritty and impressionist approach to light and form. Pretty much every deck I do for a movie or TV pitch has one of his works in there somewhere. The noir-ish sense of perpetual rain feels especially appropriate for the Bay area right now.

He’s also got a beautiful touch for rural and coastal landscapes, and figures, and puts out an occasional newsletter with fascinating insights into the creative process of an artist.
