Ioana Manolache

Ioana Manolache investigates the possibility of materiality and illusion within a flat plane through observation of found detritus. Ioana completed her BFA studies at The Cooper Union (2011) and MFA studies at Columbia University (2015). She was nominated for the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Artist Grant (2011, 2012), and has exhibited in New York City. She was awarded a residency at the Contemporary Artists Center at Woodside (2014) and recently curated a group exhibition Stirring Still at the LeRoy Neiman Gallery at Columbia University. Her work was included in the publication of New American Paintings MFA Annual Edition (2015). Ioana was born and raised in Romania.
