Jeremy Mann is an American painter born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1979. He is known for his dark, atmospheric cityscapes of San Francisco and other urban environments, rendered in oil on large wooden panels. His process is intensely physical and experimental — using rubber brayers, custom-built scrapers, household paint rollers, solvent washes, and anything else at hand to create, destroy, and rebuild his painted surfaces. He relocated from San Francisco to Barcelona at the end of 2023.

Connection note

Primary medium is oil paint on wooden panels. Mann deliberately avoids endorsing specific brands, stating "It matters not the materials that one uses." His process is intensely physical — using rubber brayers, custom scrapers, household paint rollers, solvent washes, door jams, and windshield wipers.

Oil paint — pigment suspended in a drying oil, typically linseed — has been the dominant painting medium since the fifteenth century. It dries slowly, allowing extended blending, and produces a rich, luminous surface. Available from dozens of manufacturers at student through professional grades.
