« Mangen recreated from memory the shifting tones of the sky, the steep ridges of a rock face, the curve of a green hill and the crest of waves crashing against the rocks, which are highlighted with white chalk - white chalk derived directly from the pebbles gathered on the shore. The fact that the horizon line is inverted hardly matters. After all, the aim is to reveal the impressions left by landscape and the light, even if it means turning the painting on its head. These works, created without fixed rules, prioritize chromatic dynamics and the expressiveness of forms. Above all, through his sensitive brushwork, Mangen favors a simplicity of expression that allows him to merge with his surroundings. »
